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.
JIMMY: "I went to
Paris and everyone was wearing SHANTS! Isn't that lame?!"
BILL: "I
don't know, man, my uncle loves to wear those. Ashton Kutcher does, too."
