OK, and sometimes we called them “jogging shorts” if we wanted to specify between the cut-offs and the (admittedly horrid) terrycloth shorts (and rompers). But nowadays the kids (laughingly) call them “dolphin shorts.” Which I completely don’t get.
I don’t get the “dolphin” part, and I don’t get the laughing either. In fact, I stopped watching basketball when the players started wearing those long baggy things that resembled baggy golf knickers. B-ball so lost the sexy then.

Ha! this brought back a memory of shopping downtown with my neighbor in the early 80’s – she had on a light green terry cloth outfit of short shorts, a spaghetti strap top and a Headband. All the guys were turning around to get a second eyefull of her ultimate blondness….
They call them dolphin shorts because they have a little dolphin on them near the hem.
They are called Dolphin shorts because that was the brand in the 80.
If you say so, Bob. …I worked retail, and I’ve never hurd of ’em!
