Fag-Sag
A specific style of sagging used in the early 2000s gay scene to signal "availability" without saying a word.
The trend kicked off after David Beckham and other straight celebs started rocking diamond studs in both ears, effectively killing the "right ear is queer" rule and leaving the community without a reliable gaydar hack. To fix the confusion, the "Fag-Sag" was born.
Unlike the classic 90s hip-hop or skater sag—which featured baggy boxers—the fag-sag required wearing the tightest underwear possible (usually briefs or trunk-style). The goal was to drop the jeans low enough so that the fabric became translucent or tight enough to clearly define the wearer's cakes.

"Ever since Beckham ruined the earring trick, the club has been a guessing game. Thank god for the fag-sag; if I see white spandex peeking out of those low-riders, I know he's on the team."
"Bro, pull your pants up or change your underwear. You're out here rocking a fag-sag in a pair of tighty-whities and it's making the skaters look bad."
