Men who wear shorts that stop above the knee have a case of the dad knees. Mostly popular pre-2000's with middle-aged men (dads).
Billy had a growth spurt so we're taking him shopping for new shorts to cover his dad knees.

I can't find any decent shorts here because they're all dad-knee style. I don't even own boat shoes to go with them.

The 80's dad-knees style is coming back in a big bad way with hipsters.

There’s just something about them, they aren’t too skinny, and have just enough definition to hint at the mussels in the strong dad legs. Such dad knees can be judged when owner squats down to appraise the green.
