Hotpants: Commonly known as "short shorts" and are primarily worn by women. These are short, tight shorts, and are usually made out of cotton, nylon, or some other common material. They are meant to emphasize the buttocks and the legs. Hotpants are sometimes worn with dark tights and knee-length boots to create an edgy sexy look. Hotpants were very popular in the early 1970s. They declined in popularity during the eighties, but the fashion is revived in the 1990s. On the animated comedy "The Simpsons" (episode 3F24, air date January 5, 1997), Homer causes a cargo ship full of hot pants to run aground near Springfield. Residents cheer (with the song Shorts Shorts by The Royal Teens playing in the background) as all the hotpants wash ashore.
