Really. Pull your f*cking pants up. Nobody wants to see that sh*t. I saw this sign on Facebook, and it spoke to my soul. I wish they hadn’t used a illustration of someone looking so…Black-tastic, but since “my people” are the ones doing this 90% of the time, I guess it makes sense. I feel like an old man when I think about telling teenagers to pull their jeans up, so I rarely do it in real life. To be completely honest, I usually don’t even notice when people have their pants sagging, unless one of two things happens:
- I can see someone’s whole entire backside and it ambushes my line of vision, thus ruining part of my day
- Some clown is sagging in skinny jeans, looking all kinds of awkward and uncomfortable as they waddle about like a jackass
I was around in the 90′s when this look first came into fashion, so I used to let my baggy jeans sag a little bit back then. I’m not completely judging folks for it. The key, however, is moderation. I never felt comfortable with my ass cheeks hanging out. It’s not the manliest look in the world. In fact, it’s rather “koom-see, koom-sah” if you ask me. Go ahead and say “koom-see, koom-sah” out loud. You know you want to.
If you are currently wearing your jeans completely off your ass and stanking up someone’s couch or chair while reading this, there is still hope. All it takes is approximately half a second to pull your pants up to a respectable level. The world will love you for it. Then again, if you like walking around with your butt-cheeks out as if you’re advertising space for lease, it’s a free country. Go on and do you, “Tinkerbell.”
Mr. Roper was hilarious. That is all.
To my gay readers, please don’t be offended by the “Tinkerbell” comment. It’s all jokes over here. What’s not a joke, however, is the moratorium on the ass sag. I don’t think that look has anything to do with sexuality at all; it’s more just a youth, and more accurately, a bad taste phenomenon.
I’m done with my old man rant now. I’m just going to relax and brace myself for the “n*gga you just a old-ass hater” responses I’m sure to get, like when I made fun of thugs in tight jeans a couple of years ago.

Back when I was in middle and high school, the style was for boy to wear suits or button down shirts and dress pants. I want that to come back in style.
HA! (in my Alf voice) Picture that.
I hate playing ball with people that sag their damn shorts. They too busy pulling them up every time up and down the court
My biggest fashion peev these days is the skinny jean/saggy ass look that i just cant understand. It’s like combining candy sprinkles and cotton candy. Two “sweet” things dont mix. :)
LLS!
Damn – you wrote that story in 2008. Shouldnt this fad have died out by now?????
I mean really these guys are far from thugs. I know real thugs at any moment in time can either get the scrapping or have to break out in a full sprint from either gunshots or cops. How in the hell are you gonna do either when you sagging jeans so tight they look like jeggins???
maybe we are all old people, I still dont get the skinny jeans.. sagging or not..
They are call SKINNY JEANS, that right there should stop any man.
But if that does not, this should
