We’re having a bit of a discussion over in CS and I just thought I’d get the SD community’s opinion.
To you, what does the term “bermuda shorts” refer to?
[spoiler] Thread in question.
Basically, devilsknew contends that the “common colloquial usage” of ‘bermuda shorts’ is that it is any kind of cut off short, despite length. You just need jeans and they can be cut off at any point- the knee or right under the ass cheek, it doesn’t matter, those are bermudas.
Now, it has always been my understanding that bermuda shorts are a very specific kind of short (just like capri pants are a specific kind of pants). To me, Bermuda shorts are shorts that are either at or just above the knee. I’ve never in my life heard anything different. So, I’m curious if this really is a common colloquial usage, as is suggested.[/spoiler]
Edit: I meant to make this a poll, but I fail at life. Mods, maybe?
