  1. dan says:

    Jorts? Googleing it.

    • crystal says:

      jean shorts, sounds ok in theory, but google ‘john cena’ and you’ll understand the sheer douchiness emanating from jort-wearing individuals isn’t a total coincidence.

      cut-offs on girls are OK (less slutty than daisy duke though) but on guys think village people

  2. A says:

    No idea what jorts are, but they sound rediculous to begin with.

  3. NECROPHAGIST says:

    I disagree, if you are under 5 years old, it’s ok.

  4. sara bellum says:

    Times it’s okay to call them jorts: Never.

  5. jzimbert says:

    Oh, I thought this was a graph of when I care what you think about my wardrobe. Ha! No, just kidding. Your opinion means a lot to me. I’ll take these jorts off right now. Can I keep the mandals?

    • Feisty says:

      Mandals? Really? Do we really need to masculinize something that’s been worn nonstop by men for millennia?

  6. Lukas says:

    What if it’s cold? I think, for students it’s okay and also for people who run their own business. Who could forbid it?
    (Assuming you mean “shorts”)

  7. Paprika says:

    I’m a chick and I think guys look fine in jorts.

    • ethana2 says:

      Since you don’t have a motive to lie about your gender, I’ll take your opinion and disregard the graph; thank you for your time.

  8. Chris says:

    For people who don’t know what Jorts are, they’re basically cutoff Jean shorts.

  9. Tipsy_the_Drunken_Fairy says:

    Times when uncool, overweight women such as myself are obligated to pay attention to fashion rules: never. I’m keeping my jean shorts (but I’m not calling them “jorts” because that just sounds silly).

  10. dork says:

    What’s the difference between jorts and bermuda shorts?

  11. Heidi says:

    Can’t believe someone took the time to make a graph about their dislike of jean shorts.

    They’re popular in California…

    • redlolz says:

      Yes. And “sighting them” is no more a sport here than attempting to spot a VW bug at a Volkswagen dealership.

      The term “jorts”? That’s new. And unwelcome, I must say.

      • theguy says:

        And by bug, I assume, you mean beetle? :D

        • Cait says:

          I feel old… people actually call them beetles now?

          • Trololololololo says:

            *facepalm* I don’t see many people wear jorts in California. I see Jeans, Shirts, and in the Summer, Trunks.

            • Skippy says:

              Please define “trunks.” Because that sounds an awful lot like swimwear.

              And swimwear on people who are not currently swimming is DEFINITELY not okay….as much so as wearing your jogging suit to the mall.

              • JOBGG says:

                I was in the city just right now wearing swimwear and a T-Shirt…ok, i just went swimming beforehand, but you should see my point.
                ——————–> .

            • :D says:

              I see them wear nothing, and I wish they wore something :O

    • Outback Jon says:

      I think they’re fairly popular everywhere. Except in the mind of whoever created this pathetic graph.

      My graph of how much I care about what people think about what I’m wearing would be 100% “Don’t give a crap, even when I have 100 spare craps to give” and 0% “Ooh. I’m going to go home and change right now.”

  12. Frankiidoodle says:

    Wait, are jorts different to Daisy Duke type shorts?

  13. Brian says:

    “Jorts” are jean shorts worn by men, of any length or fashion. Jorts spotting has become an extremely popular sport, with extra points given for the following:
    -acid wash
    -self-cut
    -carpenter jorts (a rare but extremely valuable sighting)

    Jorted men usually accessorize them with Nascar hats, moustache, mandals, calf-length socks and Oakleys.

  14. starshine says:

    What are men and women supposed to wear in the summer then? Jean shorts here in Indiana are the most common thing in the world, and no I don’t think they look bad. Jorts is also a bad term for these.

  15. Johanna p1 says:

    Jorts are a fashion travesty. I think men should wear pleated front khaki shorts before wearing jorts. Even then pleated front shorts are awful. Just get some pants. Or basketball shorts. Please.

    • A Random Pooka says:

      My mistake. I will consult everyone in the world before wearing anything at all ever. I don’t personally like those Ugg boots, so basically nobody can wear them anymore if I make a graph about it?

      Also, Jorts is about as retarded of a term as “Hoodie” or “Skorts” or “Internet Blogging Expert” (Exception being anyone who has a PhD in Horribleness) or pick any random term to describe something that already has a name. That will also be a retarded term.

      I know the word retarded is politically incorrect. I don’t care about your opinion on shorts, jeans, jean shorts, sandals, shoes, shirts, or hats. What makes you think I care about your opinion on phrasing?

    • Jim Hawk III says:

      Why would you even care? Do I tell you what to wear? (I probably should–especially if you’re wearing Crocs.)

    • Skippy says:

      Are you on drugs? You’d rather see people in basketball shorts – PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PLAYING BASKETBALL – than a shorter version of the planet’s most popular pants?

      Wow. I bet you’re one of those girls who thinks it’s acceptable to wear pajama pants to a restaurant. Admit it: you own sweatpants with a word across your butt.

    • EvilDave says:

      Your opinion is just like another part of your anatomy: it stinks. You don’t like jean shorts, don’t wear them.

      Now, here is my opinion of what YOU should wear:

      If you are hot, you should not be wearing anything at all.
      If you are not hot, you should be wearing a bur-qua.
      If you are not hot and huge, you should be wearing your house.

  16. FireElf says:

    You silly people. Give a hawt women extremely short ‘Jorts’ (it really does sound silly) and you complaining boys will drool your little faces off. Don’t have double standards.

  17. Smileyfacefun says:

    Really? We’re arguing about jean shorts? Seriously, fashion comes and fashion goes. Not so long ago we thought pants up the waist was the coolest thing in the universe. And mullets. Yah, this’ll all be over soon.

  18. kiwi says:

    I’m not sure I’ve owned any type of short besides denim ones….except when I actually workout, but I think it looks dumb to wear workout clothes when you aren’t working out in some way. And wearing swim trunks as shorts on guys (to me) looks silly.

  19. mhmsure says:

    For guys, it looks ridiculous.

    • Skippy says:

      As opposed to what? Wearing long pants when it’s 105 degrees out? Or those hideous plaid canvas shorts that will be out of style in…wait for it….3…2…1….

      • beckam says:

        plaid shorts are cool. where im from everyone wheres plaid. you just have to get the right shirt to go with it.

        • EvilDave says:

          Too late, those hideous plaid shorts are out of style now. You now have to wear single color, pre-stressed cargo pants for the next three weeks.

          At that time, you will have to wear coach shorts for 2 days, followed by general athletic shorts for a month, and then jean shorts until it is cool enough to wear long pants.

        • A Random Pooka says:

          Where you’re from, everyone spells ‘wears’ wrong too, so we can discount pretty much anything you say

  20. Jane says:

    Wait, as a female, I can’t wear my jean shorts anymore??? They’re new!

    • JOBGG says:

      Uhmm…for females its ok to wear anything but sweatpants with a word across the butt (my opinion). Wear your jorts if you want, or wear only your jorts and put up photos. that might end the debate really fast, and it’s win-win :D .
      But for guy, Jorts + Flip Flops + Wifebeater = Disaster.
      Disaster + Douchiness = total overkill.

  21. Joseph says:

    As a long-legged guy, I get enough crap about how my shorts are too short. So what’s next?

    • EvilDave says:

      I really want to know who decided that “shorts” should reach down at least to the knee, preferably down to mid calf. If I wanted to wear culottes, I wear culottes.

  22. tyberius says:

    I am curious about the maker of this graph. My money’s on a woman who’s projecting their own insecurities about the fact that most men have better looking legs than she does. In the off chance it’s a man, my money is on a latent homosexual with a deeply repressed jeans shorts fetish. That is, if this graph is about jeans shorts on men, as I can not, in my right mind, imagine anyone who would be opposed to jeans shorts on women.

  23. And yes, you are covered in sick. says:

    Could you PLEASE tell this to my friend [Classified]?

  24. Some Jorts Guy says:

    Some folks look fine in jorts:

  25. beckam says:

    jorts are basically just carpenter pants. on most pair of jorts they have this one loop that sticks out to put a hammer. they also have 4-10 pockets on each pair to carry everything you need while roofing or doing something else on a house or garage. the front 2 pockets are also really deep and made with a strong fabric to carry nails

  26. Loegria says:

    Oooohhh-kay…I’ve been wearing cut-offs for years…now they have a stupid abbreviated name? When I first saw the word “jorts”, the 1st thing that popped up in my mind was “jarts” (the old lawn dart game).

    Hot pants, Dazzy/Daisy Dukes, cut-offs – those names make sense. But “jorts”? I thought the passage of time was s’posed to bring progress…

  27. Alex says:

    IMO they’re not the classiest things to wear, then again I don’t recall the last time I saw someone wearing shorts who actually looked classy. I think people wear shorts to be comfy and cool, not fashionable. Wear your jorts proudly like you don’t give a f*ck!

  28. white rotten rabbit says:

    Look it’s simple: If you’re a hot chick – then it’s totally OK to wear jorts. If not – absolutely not.

  29. lol at your fail says:

    must be a US thing hating ‘jorts’, nowhere else in the world calls them jorts and they’re kinda fashionable atm especially in the uk, awell each to their own i guess

    • tag says:

      Hating “jorts” and even calling them that is not so big that it could be called a US thing. I think only the maker of this graph and their freinds do that. The rest of us wear them all the time.

  30. zappafrank says:

    What the hell else are you going to wear if you don’t want to wear jeans or pants? You can’t wear any kind of sports short (soccer, basketball, etc.) b/c those don’t tend to have pockets, and then you’ll be forced to wear a fanny pack, which I think is way worse. And if you do wear something like a basketball short with pockets, your keys and wallet will just make them slip down your legs, anyway.

    Khaki, Bermuda, or golf shorts? Way too formal for all the time and you’ll end up looking like you’re going to the country club or yachting.

    There’s really no other choice for “everyday wear” – except maybe cargo shorts – so this graph is pretty lame based on logistics alone.

    You know what’s really stupid? Any kind of pants with sandals, birks, etc. That should be outlawed. It looks so trashy, especially on guys (where it really screams DOUCHEBAG!!!).

    • AriM says:

      To your last statement… lots of people wear flip-flops every day. And, while, yes, girls pull it off better than guys, it’s not that big of a deal. Then again, I’m in southern California.

  31. Lord Voldemort says:

    Really? Really? At first I asked, “What the hell is Jorts”, and I don’t get how anybody could have a problem with them. They’re just a shorter version of the planets most popular peice of clothing- jeans. I am a girl and I wear guys’ “Jorts”, and they look a hell of a lot better on me than those plaid things that look like swim-trunks and it would get boring to wear regular cargo shorts all the time…

  32. Sergio says:

    I’m a 27 year old guy. Wearing Jorts right now!

  33. brmbug says:

    As I approach 30, I’m considering giving them up, no funeral. But then I step out into the 175-degree 1,000,000% humidity of a Texas summer, and I reconsider in a nanosecond. Besides, I don’t think I could pull off regular cargo shorts.

    VSB^2

  34. Slobbo says:

    I have never heard of the term “Jorts”. I do however own two pairs of short (above the knee) skinny jeans, and Im a guy.

  35. Schmoe says:

    Brumation

  36. breadpudding says:

    WTF. Jean shorts: not new, not a problem. Cutoffs: not new, not a problem. Ugly cutoffs: not new, always a problem.

  37. Jazzy the Man (who is a woman) says:

    To the maker of this graph: Fail

  38. Waffles says:

    I think jean-shorts are fine on women. On men however…

  39. So I keep hearing about how only “hot chicks” are allowed to wear jean shorts. Who decides which of us girls are hot? I’m sure it can’t be the jerks on this comment board, but seriously?

    Guys, get over yourselves. Girls, stand up and strut the hotness!

  40. flaskerton says:

    A few people already touched on this, but yeah… I’m not sure what definition people are using for “jean shorts.” It sounds like a lot of people think that means cutoffs or Daisy Dukes. Personally I don’t care what sex or how hot you are, cutoffs look trashy, but that’s just me.

    “Denim shorts” are different. They’re just like normal jeans — you know, those pants that 110% of the American population wears every damn day of the year — only they’re hemmed at the knee and have slightly wider legs. If you’re going to rail against denim shorts, rail against jeans too. Just to give you a heads up, you’re going to lose.

  41. Meowface says:

    The only acceptable clothes to be worn on the legs are jodhpurs. They are suitable for all occasions, especially horse riding, and are eco-friendly. The only acceptable material to make these out of is napkins stolen from restaurants.
    The current craze of “fabric-based clothes” and “comfortable trousers” is an abomination to the eyes of mankind, and is the reason for global warming due to the industries built to produce these garments.

  42. CrazedKitty323 says:

    Umm… what are jorts?

  43. cakeman says:

    I guess the never-nude population was too small to make the graph.

  44. myntee says:

    is this graph limited to men? cos i think almost any one can wear jorts, depending on the cut and style and how appropriate it is for the size of the person wearing them.
    ie: john cena jorts=all kinds of wrong
    also if we end up with an intimate knowledge of your reproductive organs, your jorts are also the wrong choice.
    Butt cleavage isn’t hot and neither is leg flesh sausaging out the bottom of the short-leg.
    Oh and if you wear them with sandals, esp with socks.

    Actually there are a lot of factors that can make them wrong. I’m starting to see the logic in avoiding them.

  45. cher says:

    Only small children and Anthony Bourdain can successfully wear them.

  46. CJ says:

    i’ve always been under the impression that jorts are acceptable for kids and females — at least we never call them out when jort spotting.

    i’m surprised to hear so many people don’t know about them. it was the popular pastime of high school on the east coast.

    • Skippy says:

      What kind of pathetically under-stimulating town do YOU live in, that this was the most exciting thing you had to do? Holy cow, that’s sad.

  47. Steve says:

    I am a man… I wear jorts… I get laid… … I am not seeing a problem.

  48. Larry says:

    Seems to be alot of conflict here. Firstly, the John Cena thing… “Jorts” are actually very comfy to ‘workout’ in, I commonly wear them for playing tennis or going for a run, so he wears them? A few of the wrestlers have over the years… Most women I know thing he is sexy as hell… I’m unsure if the comparison is suppose to help/hinder the plea for jorts.

    My other attire is usually 3 piece suits so going leg-less in my free time is comfortable for me. I run daily so my legs are athletic…and I wear a belt, so plumbers crack is not an issue… … Still not seeing problem with jorts here.

    Seems everyones problem is with…wrestling, nascar, rednecks, large butted men, and ugly people… … Feel free to make graphs against any of these, but leave the jorts alone, they did nothing to you! …

  49. alleexm says:

    I don’t get it.. What makes it so bad if the shorts are made of denim..?

    Should we only wear COTTON shorts?

    /never heard of jorts before, speaking on behalf of google’s help

  50. Some1 says:

    wth are jorks?

  51. Citteh says:

    I love my jean shorts … I am a girl though does that change things?

  52. BrotherB says:

    What about if you’re Kevin Smith? The man swears by jorts
