There are often stories we wish we didn’t have to report, and this is certainly one of them.

We’ve been contacted by numerous students across the country who are outraged by a growing fashion trend that many are calling ‘one of the fastest routes to social suicide.’ Jean shorts, or ‘jorts,’ as they’ve been dubbed, are being sold in large quantities around the globe, particularly at discount clothing retailers. KnightNews.com decided to investigate this article of clothing and find out real people’s opinion of them and what needs to be done.

Urban Dictionary defines jorts as the following:

“Jean shorts. Worn mostly by children and douchebags. Jorts are perhaps the easiest way to recognize people you will not like. If you wear jorts, you probably don’t talk to girls. The term “jorts” does not apply to jean shorts worn by black people, as those are entirely acceptable.”
