Shants

A term for pants that are too short to be pants, but too long to be shorts. They are those ugly Euro-style pants that come down over the knees but short of the ankles.

They are also called 'shants' because you SHAN'T WEAR THEM! They are hideous and not manly in the least.

They are all the rage in Europe.

BILL: "I don't know, man, my uncle loves to wear those. Ashton Kutcher does, too."

shants

Sh(ort) (p)ants. This term may refer to any pant that has been cropped to a length that hits somewhere between the ankle and the middle of one's calf.
Flood pants, usually seen in a place where a flood is not likely. Shants are most commonly seen on middle-aged women. They may be made of linen or of a cotton blend, and they are most often white, bright pink, turquoise, or lime green in color. However, neither the color nor the material is a criterion for their categorization as shants. The length maketh the shant.

Any shants sported by a man may be referred to as "man shants" or simply shmants.
