re: Why do coonasses refer to shorts as "short pants" ?

shite I don't know how come they say that. All I know is when me and old paw paw went to town we always made a pass by Nonc MaMan to talk at him and Ta-Taunt. My old pawpaw he always made fun of Ta-Taunt because she had her draws hanging on the clothes line. One time he gave me a dollar to go wet down all of Ta-Taunts draws with the hose pipe and save them in the deep freeze on top the ice box to make them stiff.
