Wide Stance 

A euphemism for a homosexual, especially one who is closeted.

This is coined from the transparent defense of Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho), to charges of disorderly conduct, stemming from his apparent solicitation of an undercover officer, underneath the partition of a restroom stall.

Prior to pleading guilty, Sen. Craig attempted to explain his behavior by claiming that his shoe touched the officer's underneath the partition because he had a "wide stance", when going to the bathroom.

tight pants wide stance 

A self explanatory term describing a type of modern snowboarder who wears tight pants and positions their bindings in an extra wide position on the board. They usually put a strong emphasis on jibbing and urban snowboarding, and prefer to ride such hip companies as capita, forecast, dinosaurs will die, santa cruz, rome, and especially holden.
That snowboarder just jumped on the tight pants wide stance bandwagon.
