if you have to ask, you'll never know.

I just noticed this today seeing some guy on a bicycle, theinking wtf?!?!, is he trying to avoid one leg fouling on the chain?

every one on ILE be fashionable tomorrow and roll up a trouser leg

Was: a bike messenger thing. Right cuff rolled up. Started getting disseminated in the mid 90s. I remember in "Kids" the characters rolled up trousers legs willynilly with no regard to the location of bike chains.

Now: freemasons, you got it.

it also has something to do with ::cough, cough:: illegal narcotics.

how?

steer clear of beer

Either left leg rolled up - looking for love, right leg rolled up, already in relationship

or perhaps they are subtly letting us know of their gang, or political affiliations?

what if you don't wear trousers, ed? can us ladies have a lopsided ponytail or something?

― di, Thursday, 25 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

they're pants, not claddagh rings. I think a homeless person has my claddagh ring. Am I even spelling that right? I got drunk one night and threw it off my roof, it was pretty funny.

That's so funny MD, what about 'gay or straight'? Like what side boys had their ear pierced in the early 80s.

There R someonw in my music class that does that. I think he is wet and a weed!

B-but how then do they express desire as a continuum??

― Tom, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I thought it came from the fact that a lot of dealers used kids on mountain bikes to deliver drugs, and so they rolled up their trouser leg to avoid getting chain oil on their spanky duds?

― chris, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i've been told it's because they're one up on The Man.

― rener, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Their mums told them to in order to stop getting muck on their oversized trousers.

― Jonnie, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maybe it all started when Mc Hammer got his clownish trousers caught in his chain and got dragged into the gears. The kids have learned from this you see.

― chris, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Are you all being sarcastic and I've missed something?

It meant, at one point before it was appropriated as a hip trend, that the person involved was carrying a gun.

Or that's what I was led to believe anyway.

― Ronan, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, right. That's a preposterous suggestion.

― Jonnie, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

One leg rolled up = only one testicle.

― AP, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thats true in tupacs case anyway.

― Ronan, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But he's dead.

― Jonnie, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

thta's not true, he just thought he had lovely ankles and wanted people to admire them.

― chris, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No. it is true, he's definitely dead.

― Jonnie, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

but I saw him on mtv last night so he can't be, he's not mad at me neither.

― chris, Friday, 26 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's a rihgt-brain tumour thing - to them their other leg doesn't exist... or when they go to roll it up too - end up on the first leg again - mistake it for the second leg and think "oh gee - I already rolled that one .. ah-yulk"

and then carry on their merry way whistling a tune in a dull monotone like this ... thhhh thh thhh thhh thhhhh
