Alright me and my friend have been having this ongoing argument for about two years now.
We were talking about how its weird that wrestlers wear tights. He said that if he wore them he would wear "loose tights". And I said those would be pants and theres no such thing as loose tights.
Im right, right?

Well, loose tights is a contradiction in and of itself anyway.
But yeah, if they were "loose tights" they'd just be loose-fitting spandex pants.

No, it's not weird, because in kayfabe world anything baggy would give your oppenent something else to grab onto and use against you.
That's why Greco-Roman wrestlers have tights, and usually have short hair.

a Gi is the only thing I can think of that would even come close to the term "loose tights"
Oh, and you are not allowed to pull hair in Greco-Roman wrestling lol.

They should go back to the old days when guys used to wrestle nekkid. That way, they won't have to worry about pulling tights. But I guess they would have to worry about pulling something else. ;D

Wrong.
Tights are called tights because of their style, not their condition.
In reverse - if someone shrunk a pair of regular pants, should we suddenly call them tights?
A balloon is still a "balloon" even after it pops (and no longer 'balloons').
But then we make sure we clarify by saying "popped balloon".
So I guess it's fair to change tights (that aint tight no more) to "loose-tights".

We don't have loose tights at the Palace of Wisdom. Because you have no fatties to stretch them out? |

wait a sec... dammit... this is buggin me now...
Ok, so I thought about it some more.. and... I think its like this...
... when we talk about things in the past... the former... the now defunct... the kapoot...
we gotta still identify it. Like the dude who runs up to his tornado strewn house and yells, "My house!!" - which is actually just a big pile of crap now. So what he should really do is run up and yell, "My big pile of crap!!"
.. wait, no ... ok.. or like..
When we say "former president Clinton" - he aint no president or nothing. But we still clarify his identity but modify it with description. So I guess "loose tights" maybe should be changed to "former tights", or just... "tights that ain't" ... or, hell... maybe just call them "looses".
i dunno. damn.
