New Word

The word of today is: Lorts



Lorts are long shorts. The kind that you see dudes wearing. They are kind of like man-capri's or flood pants. They are baggy. You know they are supposed to be long shorts, but they look like capri's. When you see them, think of flood pants for males. It might make you laugh.



I do not know who this man is, nor did I take this photo. This is what I found when I googled long shorts.

I found the photo on Mary's blog, she is the photographer of these lorts. I am thankful that she commented and allowed me to use the photo that I ripped off of her blog without causing any mental injury or suffering on my part because I didn't know the rule. Thanks, Mary. We can all thank her by giving her blog a visit~ It's good!

Very funny mamalicious! Great blog too, I've got you bookmarked.

FYI - If you rip a photo from another blog (which I don't mind at all), you should at least give a photocredit to the photographer (that would be me)
Thanks.

I like to call them "manpri's"

You should see the real man capris. They are awful! I see them on foreigners at WDW a lot. They aren't big and baggy- they look much like women's capris!

Mary, I'm sooo sorry. I will edit my post and give you some linkage. Thank you for the tip and I agree it is a good rule of thumb!

Mamalicious, Thanks for adding the photo credit. I hope I didn't sound bitchy with my request. It's hard to convey a tone sometimes. I'm not a hater, I really don't mind you using the photo.

And to Afro - can you believe that I actually took that shot in the heart of Los Angeles?! Ghett. O. is right!

Mary- I didn't take your post to have a tone to it. I thought you were giving me helpful advice! I appreciate it!

I need to make up more words.

Lorts... LOVE it. Oh, but there is a guy in my neighborhood that wears manpris... (I'm totally stealing both of these terms...) They are not lorts at all... He wears manpris. He also spends more on his hair and clothes than his wife... And, gets pedicures. And, still thinks he's super cool...

Sasha said...

Very curious- how did Mary find you? Still learning all this blogging stuff.....

I saw quite a few lorts at Sea World.

I'm glad they now have a name... Lorts... I like it! My husband makes fun of these... maybe he'll think differently once he realizes they're lorts LoL

Mamalicious said...

What? Someone deleted a post? That kills me. I need to know what it said, dammit.

Sash- I googled image of long shorts. I found the picture that Fightin' Mad Mary took on her blog. So I read her blog and gave her some linkage!

I challenge all of you to carry your camera in your purse and take a picture of a pair of lorts next time you see some.
