It zips down to trunks!

I am in dire need of a joel translation. Is that oh the pants, I yearn to wear you or oh the pants of shame? (:

Indeed, my one-word response to those was "frumpy:.

[joelzero]

Is that unfashionable, drab, out of date, or all the above?

[malderor]

Frumpy: To make the wearer look like they are carrying a lot of extra weight in the most unattractive regions. These pants look like the folds in a fat guys ass, only all the way to the ankle.

Seriously, while thoretically useful, the 'cargo pant' disappeared from the menswear horizon with a quickness because they make the male of the species look like their thighs are "with child". Nobody looks good in them.

(Cargo shorts, inexplicably, look okay. Cargo pants look dumpy.)

Ok, I'll bite. Zippers up the thighs? Why?

[joelzero]

Done! but please do explain, what card, and what is Jib?

[joelzero]

I think urban dictionary has the way of it:

Verb. To jib. Jibbing. The act of manuvering a bicycle, skateboard, snowboard or skis in tricky manner on top of and around a structure such as a stump, rocks, stairs, railigs, rooftops, etc. When you are playing around, showing off, jumping, flipping, hopping, etc you are jibbing.
