"GOING OUT SWEATPANTS: n./phrase, pron. goh-ing out swet-pants: Trousers devoid of buttons, zippers, or other encumbrances, especially intended for exercise or lounging but frequently worn on errands or other outings to help highlight one&amp;#x27;s derriere. See also &amp;quot;Lululemon&amp;quot; (proper n.) I just came across a highly sexist, completely clueless, and obnoxiously (and intentionally) offensive write-up in the Baltimore City Paper (via Jezebel) reviewing a local Safeway supermarket, and calling it the best place to ogle women&amp;#x27;s behinds in yoga pants. Seriously. The proud feminist in me practically gagged on nine tenths of this absurd &amp;quot;article,&amp;quot; but I did manage to find one redeeming nugget nestled in all of the immature frat boy humor. &amp;quot;Hooray for yoga pants, man,&amp;quot; they write. &amp;quot;We mean, for dudes it&amp;amp;#8217;s the obvious thrill of lowbrow ogling, but for the ladies, too, they rock&amp;amp;#8212;best-case scenario they show off your a**, worst case they&amp;amp;#8217;re comfortable as sh**. They&amp;amp;#8217;re basically sweatpants, except tighter and socially acceptable, right? &amp;#x27;Going out&amp;#x27; sweatpants, if you will. And nowhere in the metro area will you find more on display than at the Canton Safeway...&amp;quot; The term &amp;quot;going out sweatpants&amp;quot; kinda cracked me up. Considering how many women I know that live in Lululemons and their copycat cousins on the weekends, it does seem like they deserve a name beyond yogawear--especially because plenty of people who wear &amp;#x27;em don&amp;#x27;t even do yoga. I can&amp;#x27;t condone the asinine behavior of the blatantly-chauvinist-but-think-they&amp;#x27;re-being-ironic dudes who wrote this laughably un-journalistic piece, but I will be adding &amp;quot;going out sweatpants&amp;quot; to my style lexicon, because, um, it&amp;#x27;s sort of genius. What do you think, ladies? Do you rock &amp;quot;going out sweatpants&amp;quot;? Do you live in your Lulus when you run errands? How often do you wear &amp;#x27;em outside of the gym? Discuss!
