Hither (sometimes Thither)
I just came back from Milan where people look bloody stupid.
At the San Siro, i was sat next to a tiny man with the sharpest suit, a fearful side-parting and a pencil-thin moustache. He was the type that would hide in your suitcase and then attack you with a pair of silver scissors during the night.

Have you ever seen a gentleman of negro pigmentation with a comb in his hair? What the f*** is that all about?

To anyone who tries to say that is racist :salute:

Somwhere to put your comb, I guess? Its normally only people with big afros, and the combs aren't normally the kind to make a mistake and sit down on...

I thought that one rolled up trouser leg was from prison to show that your leg manacle was in place. Only the hardest criminals had manacles.

I'd heard something similar, but that it was to do with the chains put round black slaves' ankles.

Yeah, I presume the rolled up trouser leg has been used to represent both this and a few other things.

Think it must've started with the shackles though.

The Paninaro, or something like that, isn't it - the term for the Milan young people with the crap fashion sense

I'm still stuck in the late 1990's fashion wise so I think all modern fashions are nuts.

Shiny clothes made by Starter and skater shoes before they becamse popular with everyone... ah, those were the days. And still are, for me at least.
