sagging pants

Style of fashion of wearing pants. Originated in the DC area around the mid to late 80's not by any designer in particular. But upon ill supply of small pants (size 28 to 34 waist sizes) in prison system. The mass arrest youth for petty drug sells imploded upon the prison system (Lorton correctional institution). The prison system manufactured their own uniforms and not capable of meeting the demand and thus the youth were forced to wear oversized pants (of which even when using something (usually as torn strip of bed sheet (which was in violation of rules) the pants still sagged down. Not being feed enough. Even with overzealous guards, they were able to sneak food out in bread sleave. They took that to the streets when released as it was a way to conceal drugs, and guns in their pants without it being detected by police officers.

Try it for yourself. waist 30 with a pair of size 36 pants on tied with string by the front to belt loops. Tie a loaf of bread to that string and put on an oversized shirt (one that fits a person wearing size 36 jeans).

That's where it came from and nothing to do with anyone being gay or a punk in jail or prison advertising their gay lifestyle.

You have police official running campaigns to make it disfavored. Like getting the fashion industry to make skinny jeans. Real street people and reject it as they know what it is for what it is.
How they get all that food back from the kitchen? Them youngins with them sagging pants on, just put in their pants and walk out.

Transmission Pants

Highly durable and resilient pants designed to withstand extreme stress and rugged conditions without blowing out. Must be rated to operate at hoop stress levels of 20% or more of SMYS (Specified Minimum Yield Strength), meaning these bad boys can stretch, bend, and flex under pressure without splitting open like the pants available at your local farm supply store.
"We had a pressure surge during the pipeline test, and everyone braced for a rupture--but my Transmission Pants just absorbed the stress, and the gauge needle bent instead. The on-site OSHA inspector just nodded approvingly."
