Sag ban

From the Urban Dictionary,

Sag

To wear one's trousers lower than the intended waist line, hence the back of the trousers "sag". Some believe "sagging" originated in America, particularly amongst the black community. Men that had been arrested and sent to jail would be malnourished and therefore skinier upon leaving thus causing their trousers to hang lower around their waist; "sag".

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t like when people sag. While I wear baggy clothes, I usually don’t have my pants hanging to my knees…usually. I’m sure that Senator that was caught in the airport bathroom sure knows about that.

Listen, do we really need a law to enforce people to pull their pants up? Doesn’t this go back to proper upbringing? You know, when our moms taught us to keep a neat appearance. This is the form of BIG government we certainly don’t need. The problem is when are parents going to be parents again instead of our government doing all the work?

Don’t we have more pressing matters to deal with? Such as Healthcare and the poor and Rosie’s O’Donnell ever expanding head. Yet, we’re spending time telling knuckleheads to pull up their pants or they’ll go to jail.

((The bare-your-britches fashion is believed to have started in prisons, where inmates aren't given belts with their baggy uniform pants to prevent hangings and beatings. By the late 80s, the trend had made it to gangster rap videos, then went on to skateboarders in the suburbs and high school hallways.))

This is partly correct. However, in some prisons, this meant you were gay. I’m not making this up. I guess it has another meaning in other prisons.

(("Are they going to go after construction workers and plumbers, because their pants sag, too?" Murray asked. "They're stereotyping us."))

Plumbers, yep lock them up, hell they should go to jail for their over-the-price services. The Super Mario Brothers will probably get arrested too. Mario locked up with OJ, there’s a movie in that.

(("The reason I don't wear tight pants is because it's easier to get money out of my pocket this way," Wise said. "It's just more comfortable."))

And it is easier to pull out your weapon and bust a cap in someone with baggy pants. I guess we’ll start seeing the hommies wearing fanny packs now.
