What “shorts” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediashorts/ʃɔː(ɹ)ts/
- nounA short circuit.
- verbTo cause a short circuit in (something).
Shorts are a garment worn over the pelvic area, circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes extending down to the knees but not covering the entire length of the leg. They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of pants, which cover the entire leg, but not the foot. Shorts are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort and airflow are more important than the protection of the legs.
