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.
