For Men’s clothing, there used to be a name for pants that were too short. They were either called ‘Floods or High Water Pants. For women’s clothes, there were Hot Pants.
James Brown even made a song about them.

Some motorcycles have always been called Hogs.
VW’s have always been called Bugs.

**Diamond in the Back referred to vintage 1970-1980 Cadillacs.
The rear window had a diamond shape.
That was immortalized by one hit wonder, William DeVaughn’
in the song ‘Be Thankful for What You’ve Got.
Written and sung in the style of Curtis Mayfield.
