What kind of tag is this? It seems like it's just random pics.

Urban Dictionary says:
Really short shorts. Derived from
the shorts Daisy Duke used to
wear on "The Dukes of Hazzard"

Now that's an interesting term.

Actually, "daisy dukes" shorts are cut sideways from the crotch to the outside of the thigh. Most of what people try and call "daisy dukes" today, like in most of those pictures, they're not it. Can't stop people's misconceptions with real information, though, because they'll just say it comes down to interpretation. Just like the Bible, eh?

Looks to me like all of the images tagged with it are correct, but maybe tagging an image with "daisy_dukes" should automatically tag it with "short_shorts" as well, just for completeness' sake.

Let's not bring religion into this totally unrelated conversation, hm?

Daisy Duke style of cut-offs don't reach up to the hip. But again, it becomes the interpretation of what someone has grown up to believe is the correct way, rather than what is.

"Side boob" was originally the way a breast looks when a woman raises her arms and you can see them from the back, not actually seeing a boom from the side.

The evolution of a term is what I look at. Daisy dukes were originally a straight cut across the thigh, not an arching cut up to the waistband of the shorts. Using the original, non-evolved definition, Pictures 2,
4, 5, and 7 are damn close, though the angles throw off the look. Even of these, only 4, 5, and 7 are accurate enough that I would personally label them that. Pictures 1, 3, 6, and 8 are completely NOT Daisy Dukes, by traditional definition.

But like I tossed out withe the Bible, interpretation is by the person, by what they learn, and time changes both. It was tangential, but not unrelated conversationalism.
