I love these etc. posts.
I've oftentimes describe myself as an inventor, because I invent all kinds of things. I like inventing things, such as words. You are probably an inventor yourself when you think about it. When I come up with a new cool word I check the highly-respected www.urbandictionary.com site, and then if it's not there, I submit it to them. So far I have about a dozen words that I've submitted.
Anyway, I invented a new word today. Here it is, followed by a definition and its' usage.
Pippi Longcrotching
Derived from the Swedish fictional children's character, an affliction that can occur in men at any age when they have a difficult time wearing slacks off-the-shelf. While fitting these pant sizes, they find that a given waist size is too small, and subsequently move up to the next waist size, only to find that the length of the crotch approaches the mid-thigh length, or beyond. The trouser gives the appearance of an untailored look, and reveals an overly long front panel and extended crotch.
Lee: "Dude, new slacks"?
Tom: "Yeah"
Lee: "Wow man, did you get those off the shelf? They don't fit! You're sporting the Pippi Longcrotching look."
Tom: "I know.... What you looking at anyway?"
Lee: "Hard not to notice, bro, sorry."
