hand down joggers meaning.

Recently i noticed some teens with their hands down their Nike Joggers. While i was out.

Then i noticed this on a post on her about the Macdonalds troubles. Nike get up, hand down joggers,

So what does it mean, why have these teenagers got their hand down their joggers? Intrigued in a way.

It's disgusting. They go into shops and touch things with those filthy hands.
I once demanded to know off a man what he thought he was doing playing with him self outside an infant school.
It should be a prosecutable offence.

Pocket billiards?

Balls into corner pockets…. So fondling/playing with the (boy) balls attempting to get them in the non-existent pockets. Most boys also seem to roll them as if trying to get the cue chalk of them - much like snooker umpires do. The alternative name was pocket snooker..

Checking everything is still attached.

Who hasn't heard a mum telling a young boy to leave it alone or it will fall off, those kind of comments in early childhood clearly create a long lasting insecurity and deep fear amongst teens.

My exh's Nan used to tell him that if he carried on fiddling with himself then a bird would fly out of the cupboard under the stairs and peck it off.

Unsurprisingly he was constantly reassuring himself it was all still present and correct. Though I'm sure he was quite relieved that our first house together was open plan downstairs and didn't have any cupboards for birds to live in. Didn't stop him carrying out his regular inspections though, a habit he's passed onto both our sons.

I've refrained from traumatising a second generation with tales of avian castration. I just tell them to do it in private if they really feel the need, so now they'll start to fiddle then shriek 'my privacy' and run upstairs which is....an improvement I suppose although at some point I will need to work on the fact that you don't actually need to announce to all and sundry that you are off to play with your cock and balls.

Friend works as a school's police officer (it's a rough area!) and he says the quickest way to get teenage lads to stop wearing their trousers low slung is to tell them that prisoners do it to expose as much underwear as possible at the rear to indicate whether they're up for homosexual liaisons. Whether that's true I don't know, but he says it works perfectly and they all immediately pull their trousers back up and and stay that way 🤣

This is going to probably sound weird but when I'm tired or really relaxed I often have my hand down my trousers. Not touching myself just resting it. Dunno why. But only at home. Alone.

I work in a prison and the boys do it I think for many reasons,

They don't actually get given enough clothes to keep warm so they put they're hands down their joggers if they're cold

They are concealing a weapon

They are pretending to conceal a weapon

They are stealing from the classroom

They are pretending to steal from the classroom Grin to annoy me

The joggers are literally the wrong size for all of the boys, they fit no one so they are either too tight and they are stretching them or they are too big and they are falling down or they are too short and they are pulling them down to cover their ankles

Very little to do with actual penis touching

Yeah but accidentally stabbing yourself in the dick sounds a bit silly.

Eatyourfoodtina · 25/02/2023 08:09

Doctor Doctor, I accidentally stabbed myself in the dick

Eatyourfoodtina · 25/02/2023 08:09

Wait no,

Doctor Doctor I accidentally stabbed myself in the dick and my hand smells funny

😂

Karwomannghia · 25/02/2023 08:16

its a gang culture thing isn’t it? Alluding to having a piece tucked in their waistband. A bit intimidating.

ReceptionTA · 25/02/2023 09:17

I've never noticed this. They think they look hard? They look like their mothers never taught them not to have their hands in their pants when they were toddlers. I work with two small boys who have SEN and sometimes have to gently remind them not to do this.

They probably also think spitting in the street and dropping rubbish is a normal way to behave.

SpringIsSpringing23 · 25/02/2023 12:41

I also see them with hand down trousers and their other hand on their stomach with their tshirt up slightly. You can see their snail trail.

Whenever my mate and I used to see this,we would look at each other a d say,'it's still there's. We thought we were hilarious.🤣now in my 50s I just think it instead of saying it.

Self castration - easier than going nhs and a possibly a career as a castrato.

You're right. Bye Essex hull Albert Hall, come hear me sing, upward mobility for all 🧢👕👟😋

I just laughed outloud 😅 That'll teach them to truly be well 'ard, not just pose

Many thanks for your POV, and thank you for keeping us safe from prospective weapon concealers

Pocket pool

Certain men and boys fiddle with their dick all day long.

And I don’t buy all this ‘no pockets’ stuff. Women never have bloody pockets but we aren’t playing with our fannies all day.
