Boys with a hand down their pants, yeah, no!

[Yadda]

Isn't it because the grownups don't like it? Like a troll thing.

I might be wrong but I thought it stemmed from the US of A where gangs/chavs would hold guns out of direct sight (like a bank robber) as a threat?

Either way, it's disgusting and looks ridiculous.

Always assumed it was part or rap/gangsta culture, usually done by people wearing basketball shorts, so that would make sense.

It’s not a new thing, we used to take the **** out of a friend that did it a decade ago.

Probably the same gangsters who sit down the shopping parade on their sisters hair dryers wearing full face crash helmets "lookin 'ard"

 

[IronWarrior]

It's a self comfort mechanism, kinda pathetic.

Most certainly.

I was thinking the same, it's like the chav version of sucking your thumb.

Chavs do that?

See it all the time in Liverpool, they just ball jugglers trying to look hard.

As a poster said "I would not want to shake hands with them" Cheesy fingernails or a few pubic hairs on the hand. As most are meffs and shower about once a week tops. lol

Only time my hand goes down my pants is for a pee, even then I try to sit down most of the time.

Makes you appreciate the Asian custom of bowing to each other instead of handshakes, since you never know where an other persons hands have been.

 

[Digital X]

I used to have mates that did it, no idea why.

I just cannot see the reason.

 

[CircleFaust]

i've seen it a few times. they are trying to be hard men, 'look at me holding onto my big ****'
but they are too stupid to realise they look like ******

You see as a child and a teenage relaxing at home it was normal *for me anyway* to cup whilst watching TV etc.

Were your hands outside or inside the trousers because one of those answers is bizarre.

This came from prison/detention centre culture, where prisoners would typically hide weapons in that area in order to avoid them being found during a rub down search

Could be worse

A sign of a declining society. No respect for other people around them.

 

[Marky]

Do you mean walking around like this:

No clue....very odd.
Never seen it in my area....

One thing I don't fully understand is, these are the types of dudes that wear this sort of clothing in the blazing hot summer. I see them wondering around with their hoods up, and in full hoody and joggers, and all I'm thinking is "how are they not sweating their **** off"

 

[arknor]

paedophiles in the making, hide yo kids

 

[Shocky-FM]

I've noticed it, no idea why they do it.

Don't understand how anyone can be so oblivious of how it's perceived by others.

Knuckles hang too low, keeps them elevated.

Sounds a good explanation, I am liking that
