It made me wonder how low an IQ is necessary to wear pants six inches or so below the waist? Besides looking stupid, they appear so uncomfortable.Chester Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155257451021065218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740858803121444958.post-3419583390656351072011-12-07T22:18:32.419-05:002011-12-07T22:18:32.419-05:00I remember the droopy drawers phrase.

I do recall a teacher who called a boy droopy drawers and then tugged on the belt loops on his pants. The pants fell and both were embarrassed.

Grandma used to say 'a bird is going to come along and poop on that lip' when one of us pouted. As for cliche, I've always wondered about letting the cat out of the bag. Who puts a cat in a bag?

I haven't heard it referred to boys who wear their pants below their hips (I've heard that called Jailin' btw) but it fits.
