Short Length
 
Sorry for the return to fashion discussions....

I'm trying to answer a question posed at a meeting last night about the length of shorts. The book says they must be worn as intended. Can this include a length below the knee? How long can 'shorts' be?

As long as they need to be. Pants are acceptable (but not, by rule, pants under shorts)

Reminds me of what Abraham Lincoln answered when asked how long a man's legs should be: "About long enough to reach from his body to the ground."

Isn't the title of this thread an oxymoron? :confused:

No, it is not. An oxymoron would be, "Short Long".

And, just what is the etymology of 'oxymoron'? It's not, after all, a kind of moron.
