What do you MEAN “Jorts” isn’t an acceptable term??
Dear NPR,
Usually I agree with everything you say & do. Especially when it comes to making Steve Inskeep belly laugh at 7:45 in the morning.* But THIS:
“The Associated Press Stylebook is the media’s go-to guide for things like grammar and punctuation, and it’s often revised to keep up with vernacular. Its 2012 edition includes a chapter on fashion, and in a Twitter chat this week the AP declared “jeggings” an OK word for the trendy hybrid of leggings and jeans. It added that “jorts” is not an OK term for jean shorts.“
from this story is just WRONG.
What do you MEAN “JORTS” isn’t an okay term?
Try telling that to the makers of this terrible Jorts-Twilight parody:
Try telling that to the Wolfpack:
Try telling that to Wyck & Stephenie Meyer:
Try telling that to this creepy hand-drawn picture of Jacob & Renesmee:
Try telling that to the man who owns a thermos with this saying printed on it:
or any of these Jorts Products on Cafe Press
And are you saying that guy who got this Jorts tattoo made a MISTAKE?
NPR: Take it back please. Send me Ryan Gosling covered in Hey Girl NPR sayings please as a token of your sorrow, and I might be able to begin to forgive you.
Yours always, especially when I’m in my jorts,

I miss talking about Jorts. Clearly. Thanks James for sending in this story!!
*If you laugh at Steve Inskeep early in the morning like me, let’s be BFFs, please.
