LETTER: Swag or Sag? Boy, Pull Your Pants Up!

22

Dear Editor of ANR,

I almost had an accident on Old Parham Road this morning—not because of reckless driving, but due to a rather eye-catching spectacle unfolding in the middle of traffic.

Picture this: a man crossing the street, strutting with legs wide open as if he were auditioning for a role in a modern dance performance. I couldn’t help but watch, curiosity irritated.

As he approached, it became clear that this wide-open swag was a strategic move to prevent his pants from making a break for it, reminiscent of that infamous incident involving a certain prime minister.

Alas, the moment drew me closer, and I was met with the sight of his boxers peeking from beneath his sagging jeans—a bold fashion statement, to be sure.

It’s not just him, though. I’ve noticed a trend sweeping through our young men. They stroll through town, either in packs or solo, with their trousers perilously low, showcasing their colorful boxers as if they were part of the latest runway show.

One has to wonder: who’s behind this sartorial choice? It seems they have adopted the American lifestyle, but it doesn’t sit well with many of us. Boy pull up your pants.

Some of these boys are school-goers, strutting around their homes as if they own the place—while their parents appear more preoccupied with the world stage than the chaos unfolding right under their roof.

I can’t help but question why the entire world needs to bear witness to what someone’s underwear looks like. Is this a fashion statement or simply a cry for attention?

Let’s leave the “bottoms up” to the cheerleaders and keep the pants up, shall we?

  1. EQUAL SENTIMENTS SHARED!!! A VERY INSIGHTFUL, SELFLESS AND VALUABLE IMPUT. IRONICALLY THE TREND IS NOT PROMINENT IN THE U.S AS OBSERVED. MORSESO IN ONSTAGE PERFORMANCES. BUT HARDLY ON STREETS WITHIN PUBLUC VIEW. INDEED TIME TO ” RAISE THE STANDARD , RAISE IT BOLDLY AS STATED IN OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM. GOD BLESS ANTIGUA.

  2. Well that style is from the jail where inmates ware there pants below there ass to say they are waiting to be fuck.

  3. Okay guys. Let me give you the low down…..SAGGING INDICATES THAT YOU ARE HOMOSEXUAL AND YOU ARE READY TO ENGAGE( IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN). This custom originated in prison as a sign to other inmates who the female is among them. Let’s see who continues this practice now that you are in the know.

  4. Well it’s a jail man style saying they are gay.i heard a man cuss a elderly Lady in a shop.bc she said that.maybe he was gay. .. But really its a nasty sight

  6. If they REALLY knew what their style meant they wouldn’t want their a$$e$ hanging out all the time for the men to see!

    Or maybe they like to have their asses gazed at.

  7. If these young men are told the meaning behind this “swag” they’ll be sure to buy some belts and always have their pant on their waists…. but Noone is telling them that… cause their afraid to get cussed out…give me a break…chupz

  8. MR POMPEY, INDEED, ABSOLUTELY NECCESARY TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD. BUT THE POINT AND RELEVANCE OF THE THE ISSUE BEING DISCUSSED CANNOT BE IGNORED. THESE ARE THE SONS, FATHERS AND FUTURE LEADERS OF TOMORROW. CERTAINLY THAT IS NOT THE STANDARD AS YOU KNOW IT SIR WITH WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.

  9. Someone said to me government cannot tell people how to dress, but the government should go to parliament pass a law and let the police charge these idiots (and it’s not only men some girls are doing it too) with indecency

  10. Well it’s trending due to the fact that many of them have since experienced the truth and have gravitated to it. Ever wondered where some of these not working guys get money from to rent car, etc

  11. It is an homosexual style so who has their panties showing is the girls it is not a bad man style its a girly jail style

  12. That is why you have so much homosexual a round because young man showing off there bottom to the public they all need to be charge for that type of dressing

  13. Time for schools to start enforcing uniform standards again. Sagging pants is not culture—it’s confusion

  14. It’s a style, yes—but there’s a time and place. On the road with traffic and school children? Come on.
