Trouser legs

Former Member

What the fuck is the deal with rolling up one trouser leg to the knee, and leaving the other one down?

While out shopping today I noticed a dummy in a shop window and a fair few fannies with it done. I can picture them all walking past the shop earlier in the day: "Shit! Look! The latest style! Quick, up with our trouser legs!". Surely they realise they look like a fucking muppet walking around like that?

Right, so which of you trickasses has been doing it?

Ooh! OOH! Lots of gangstas in Nicos on a Saturday night do that, and they do that mad Nina Sky dance too, where they clap their hands all fancy like, but miss them at the same time. Comprendez?

I didn't think people actually did that except for 20 years ago and tv shows making fun of people 20 years ago

Former Member

Wtf, you are kidding, right?

I refuse to believe people do that. You must've just had a really weird dream.

Dear god I hope you're joking. If not I am going to have to learn to run fast, because I'm going to be pointing and laughing at them in the street.

it's the only thing to do in that situation :thumb:

it's a drug thing, isn't it? one leg is supposed to indicate that you're buying, and the other that you're selling.


or did i dream that?

I've only known BMXers to do that, roll up the trouser leg on the side of the bike the chain's on...so it doesn't get caught (cos they generally wear baggy jeans) or oil on it or something. I have known them to do it when just walking around town too, which is a bit sad, but y'know.

As for non-BMX type people, I've never seen them do it. Have obviously heard all the gang/drug related theories.

Whatever the reason for doing it, it's sad and I too will be pointing and laughing if I see anyone doing it

Former Member

Lmao. I think it's hilarious. There was this boy in 6th form at my school who done that. Some bloke came in my cafe the other day like it too, with a stupid hat on worn to the side and down a bit. I told him that you had to dress smartly to come in so he took his hat off and rolled his trouser leg down. Haha. But seriously though, I can't understand why people think it might look good.

Former Member

Point and laugh at them. Then probably get shot or something.

Former Member

I can't say I've ever seen anyone do it, let's hope it doesn't catch on here.

Former Member

Oh yeah I've seen people with that. They're the same ones who wear all the 'bling'. People are stupid.

Former Member

every rude boy and his mate have been doing it round here for ages. We even used to play netball against some girls who used to wear their trackie bottoms like that. Usually teamed with a daft hat or bandana. Get's on my nerves especially the pre-pubescent dickheads with sparrow legs who think it makes them look hard.

Former Member

thought that was a thing a few years back..tended to be the townie types

Former Member

You're all looking too deep into it...

Fans of 50-cent, that's all.

Former Member

I didn't know 50cent did that.. I know he dons the single roll up but not all the way to the knee. He also wears a massive bandana round the front of his neck. Look like a cowboy with whiplash...

I myself roll one leg up but only a single fold...not to the knee...

I thought it was just DnB idiots?

You say that like there's nothing wrong with it. As if it's right up there on the scale of normalcy with taking out your rubbish early in the morning or lacing a pair of shoes.

Former Member

Not exactly normal cus what is? normalicity is something that an INIDVIDUAL decides he/she wants in thier every day living.

It's not like a huge statement. I don't actually do it often, only with the one pair of jeans I own. Instead of foldin the bottom of the leg up on both, i only do it with one on the one leg with only that pair of jeans with just one fold. About 2 inches.

Well I'm sure wearing those out in public wouldn't cause any laughing.

Former Member

I knew that LL Cool J used to do that on his show, but that was like 5 years ago. :eek2:

Former Member

I actually thought hard about those jeans afterwards and told him to keep em at the depo and refund me for em.

I'm surprised anybody pays attention to me in ehre. Msg boards tend to ignore new ppl.

BTW I have only did this to the one pair of jeans on the one occasion... and got no dodgy looks nor remarks.
