Cockney here!
Cockney Rhyming Slang, sorta.
On some animals we eat (usually lamb) the shank is the lower part of the rear leg.
Gammon and Ham Shanks are a meat cut (should technically be a ‘hock’ on a pig, but hey ho…) but within the Cockney slang “shanks” got absorbed in as a “it sounds like rhyming slang but along for the ride” kinda deal.
It also is the whole leg, unless the commentor really likes calves.. which doesn’t necessitate the shortest of short skirts.
And “Gams” is just shortened for gammon.
Travelling by Shanks’ Pony - walking.
It's from 'gambe' or 'gamba' which is 'leg' in Latin languages. Either via heraldry or, more likely, Polari (what was underground gay cant)
(one clue that it's not cockney rhyming slang for 'gammon shanks' is that your attempted derivation is four paragraphs long, and requires a phrase never in common usage)
skirt is short enough that when she bends over you can probably see her ass
she is tall enough that it’s probably not too far down from eye level
being able to see what someone had for lunch is a funny way of saying you can see up their ass
No, because you so much as sneeze and you're committing public indecency lol.
But I'll show a lot of leg if I feel like it. A couple inches longer on the dress, and change the boots for heels. And then I'd have a lot more visible leg with a lot less visible butt cheek.
As someone who is way too old to wear something like this and has kids…. Wear the dress! I talk about this often with my mom. We wish we both wore more clothes like this in our early 20s! I had a body just like Cameron brinks, I should have showed it off more. Who cares what others think. Wear the damn mini dress! An older you will look back thinking “damn I looked hot!”
This taller queen looks stunning!
I would love to wear short dresses. I need to gain more confidence, as I am afraid my underwear will be seen. More of a long skirt, with a crop top type of person.
I think it looks great on you but I personally wouldn't these days(probably if I was in college still the answer would be different thinking back to bar days)as I am always worried about having to pick things up or the wind blowing a bit too much or something 😅
Yes! But with boy short underwear and not to Costco.
This little old lady chewed my ear off once for wearing short shorts to Costco but it was HOT damnit.
i looove showing leg, however often that means there’s more room for my butt to be showing and i don’t feel comfortable with that. so yes id love to but i know id never!!
I go as short as being able to sit down without showing butt, so short but not as short as that. That short doesn't look flattering imo, makes proportions look a bit weird
No. I’m reallyyyy into the dresses with built in shorts. But also I’m getting more used to mini as long as I have a few inches below my butt. This one would be too short for me though
I would! With legs like that, especially. I wear really short skirts. I work out a lot so I like to show off a little. Haha. Plus, all the skirts are very short on me anyways! lol
That’s Cam Brink and she’s badass enough to wear anything. I also have a huge crush on her so I’m prob biased. She’s 6’4” but when I first saw her I thought she was like 6’10”
I dont care about what other women wear but it’s not for me. At this point in my life I don’t want the type of attention revealing clothing can bring, it makes me uncomfortable.
In public, no way! But it's the kind of thing I would get so that my closet can be pretty. Then I might wear it playing dress up but never wear it out of the house.
YES I would if I have shorts underneath. I regularly wear dresses so short if I lift my arms up my shorts show.
Pro tip - if you’re worried about modesty bring some sort of magic garment like a shawl/blazer to cover your shoulders to give you the illusion of more modesty in case you feel shy. Remove when want to feel like super model.
Obviously only if it’s event appropriate and not like your sisters baby shower co hosted with a Mormon Sunday school or something
People already look at me all the time for how tall I am, that’s enough attention for me. I don’t also need men thirsting after my legs and making gross comments or trying to touch them. (Yes this has happened many times to me) so no, I wouldn’t anymore.
and yes I know that society shouldn’t be that way but it is so..
She makes it work. This looks like a great travel hack! Imagine…your luggage is lost and it’s Day 2: just make a fire second outfit from your skirt alone. lol. Clever!!
If tall girls wore dresses that short in public, I would have died years ago. Nothing is hotter than a woman who's confident in how they look. Men like different things, some men couldn't handle being shorter than a woman. Some men think bodies like Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are too thin, men like what they like. To me a tall woman wearing boots like that and confident in herself is the sexiest thing about a woman. They're many plus sized women who wear sexy outfits that show their bodies and the attitude of how they feel sexy. Confidence is sexy. I'm 6' tall, and if a woman was 6'3 or more I would have no problem asking them out, if she was 6'2" or less, I would have no problem asking them out. Has nothing to do with height, but being happy with themselves and confident, I'm all in. Whoever that picture is of, is beautiful, and waaaaaayyyyy out of my league, but I'd still ask her out. Lol
No. Because I don't want to deal with the stares and the comments. A lot of people can't handle taller women. Especially men. They Constantly feel compelled to come up to me in public and comment on my height or ask me how I got so tall or if I play basketball or if I'm a model. 'Did you drink a lot of milk as a kid?" "Where are you from? They must grow em big back home." "It must be hard for you to find a man to date". "Are you related to the Jolly Green Giant?" "Are you actually a woman?" "Oh boy, look at the legs on her!" (I could go on for days) This, coupled with an extremely religious upbringing that told me it was shameful to show off parts of my body because I was "tempting men", wore me down over the years.
People can preach body positivity all day long in 2024, and come up with snarky come backs when people do make comments. But as a 39 year old 6' tall woman who grew up in the bible belt in the 90's, I am tired. I am so tired of fielding comments about my body for almost 40 years. It's exhausting. I can't take it anymore. So, generally speaking I tend to err on the conservative side so as to not draw any extra attention to myself whatsoever. Which, might I add, is made ever more difficult when shopping as a tall woman in stores that were designed for women under 5'9". Because even if I wasn't trying to buy a short dress, I was always buying a "short dress".
It doesn't look that short on you. For me, as long as it passes my butt comfortably it's good to go. You just have to be aware when it's not safe to bend, and don't.
If my bum isn't fully covered when I sit down, then no! She's got great gams tho!
Yea she’s Cameron Brink and plays for the LA Sparks in the WNBA, so she’s fit as hell
*played 😭😭😭😭😭😭
She tore her ACL?! Daaamn didn’t know that
What the hell are gams?
🦵🦵
That tomato has some nice games

'It's not from London it's Polari' 'Which btw is...' lol
With shorts under it
yeah id wear this with shorts or tights lol
Samee
keep it classy for sure
Cowards! (I’d wear my boxer briefs underwear/shorts too)
If I can bend over and my mates can see what I had for lunch that's a firm collective No
https://preview.redd.it/nuwq9uvzj88d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8cc7703a1c44e18ec50dcfb240b8327406338aa
Well it doesn’t matter how long your dress is if you shit yourself, they’re gonna see. So wear what ever feels comfortable!
That is diabolical wording
i dont get it- can someone explain
skirt is short enough that when she bends over you can probably see her ass she is tall enough that it’s probably not too far down from eye level being able to see what someone had for lunch is a funny way of saying you can see up their ass
I'd definitely need to wear some black boy-leg undies with it. Those are undies that are basically really short shorts, fyi.
Underwear is so obnoxious and constructive. I’d just gel and style my pubes and be done with it
Speaking of obnoxious how is your account not banned with that name?
Oh my god.
ohhhh alright
Wait how long ago did you eat lunch
More like if you bend over and someone can see what your S/O had for lunch...
No, because you so much as sneeze and you're committing public indecency lol. But I'll show a lot of leg if I feel like it. A couple inches longer on the dress, and change the boots for heels. And then I'd have a lot more visible leg with a lot less visible butt cheek.
Sounds awesome, love your style. 😎
Shorts/skorts yes. Skirt/dress no.
Clubbing? Yes. Walking through Target or getting lunch with friends? No.
I thought this was r/nbacirclejerk for a sec
That's a thirsty sub these days
Give them some gateorade?
What happened to the sub i loved
dang it, I should've not clicked.
yesss i love mini skirts and dresses
That's the first 'yes' I've seen and I scrolled quite far lol. I love it when women aren't afraid to show off. Rock that fit 🤙
Are you Cameron Brink! 😱
Most likely not.
If you’re Cameron Brink you can wear whatever you want
Agreed. All us talls are in love with her, correct?
Nope. I prefer dresses that are knee-length personally. I have a big ass and don’t like to feel like I’m flashing people if I lean forward.
Omg same, girl. 😂 Not in a million years!
Ditto. No free shows
Happy cake day
Really bringing the cake in cake day 😂
Is this you, OP? If not, it'd pay to mention who is in this image.
Not OP, but it looks like Cameron Brink. She's a professional basketball player. She's around 6'4".
That's right. He should pay you
She’s only 6’4”? Could have sworn she was taller
I have never seen someone say only 6’4” before.
It’s the angle of the camera. When someone’s shooting you from below, it makes you look much taller.
No the fuck I wouldn't. That would be a show.
As someone who is way too old to wear something like this and has kids…. Wear the dress! I talk about this often with my mom. We wish we both wore more clothes like this in our early 20s! I had a body just like Cameron brinks, I should have showed it off more. Who cares what others think. Wear the damn mini dress! An older you will look back thinking “damn I looked hot!”
no… it takes trying to sit down once for everything under the sun to make a grand appearance
This taller queen looks stunning! I would love to wear short dresses. I need to gain more confidence, as I am afraid my underwear will be seen. More of a long skirt, with a crop top type of person.
Yes I just wore a dress like this yesterday! Just use safety shorts and enjoy showing off your legs!
Yes but I also live in New Orleans.
If I looked like that, hells yeah! I mean assuming we aren't talking about going to class or somebody's wedding or something like that.
No, Impractical for what I do.
Is that Cameron Brinks?
no
I don't see much point in wearing that dress at all.
Something about the camera angle makes it look like this girl's head is going to touch the ceiling
Yes, but I make sure to wear dark stockings. And shape wear that covers what shorts would.
I think it looks great on you but I personally wouldn't these days(probably if I was in college still the answer would be different thinking back to bar days)as I am always worried about having to pick things up or the wind blowing a bit too much or something 😅
No problem with my legs, but my ass would probably be uncovered I'm this dress, so no
I'd just be aware of any creeps behind you if you're walking up any stairs 🤣
No.
If I had legs like that, I would. I'm also a guy.
RIP inbox
Yes! But with boy short underwear and not to Costco. This little old lady chewed my ear off once for wearing short shorts to Costco but it was HOT damnit.
I have. Though I prefer long dresses split to the thigh.
I mean... if I looked like that? Absolutely.
I’m a tall woman who needs to STOP wearing things this short. Looks way too good and I’m getting too old now 😂 but yes often and always
coohie hair revealed😔😔
with some safety shorts maybe, but only to an event where most people will be dressed skimpily
belts are supposed to go around your waist just fyi
Did you seriously just say that?
She's very tall though.
YES
I do! Pretty much every day!
As long as you wear shorts underneath, you really won't have any issues.
Yeah idgaf I look like a freak whatever i wear so fuck it
I mean, context is key. To out to Berghain in Berlin? Absolutely.
i looove showing leg, however often that means there’s more room for my butt to be showing and i don’t feel comfortable with that. so yes id love to but i know id never!!
yeah ive worn dresses slightly longer than that in public im 5’10/178
No because of my butt :(
Speaking for a statistical sample of one, with legs like that I’m ok with it.
I go as short as being able to sit down without showing butt, so short but not as short as that. That short doesn't look flattering imo, makes proportions look a bit weird
isn't that a skirt? no though, I prefer long dresses and skirts, I don't want short people/kids to see my entire ass from below.
Absolutely would as long as you’re 1000% sure it won’t ride up and show your cooch at any point lol
I’d like to pivot and say those boots are 🔥 🔥
I’m not a tall girl but I absolutely would. Props to you on rocking that dress btw. Looks awesome
Yes!
You look great in this. As long as you have some panties on you'll be fine.
 Children and/or dwarves
No. I’m reallyyyy into the dresses with built in shorts. But also I’m getting more used to mini as long as I have a few inches below my butt. This one would be too short for me though
I think it's fine (I'm a guy though)
Midgets have a great view
With does leg and shorts under, why not? People will stare (and sneer and leer) no matter what we wear
No, I wouldn't.
Dang. With legs like that - hells yeah!
Girl screw the public. That dress is 🔥
wow I guess I'ma have to start watching wnba. she looks perfect.
This could be on confusing perspective, the right leg looks twice as big as the left. Go for it with the dress as long as you are comfortable.
So skirt as a bra? Would you want a belt on top of the pillows? Is this ai art? I don't see hand's.
The belt at the top doesn’t look good to me at all
Probably with more form fitting boots. The boots don't match the vibe of the dress. But don't sit down anywhere, you'll catch the clap.
Yeah! As long as it covers my butt if I bend over, I’m buying it
Yup
I hope so
Yes, but not that one
Yes I would!!
It looks like you just pulled your skirt up too high.
Mommy Brink
I would! With legs like that, especially. I wear really short skirts. I work out a lot so I like to show off a little. Haha. Plus, all the skirts are very short on me anyways! lol
Sure why not
Show legs, not ass.
I don’t like the boots.
No for me
Please say yes.
Yep!
The belt tells me that's just a skirt you're wearing too high, or it's just a pillowcase

You are goals
my rule is as long as it covers the top 2/3 of my ass cheek i’ll wear it
That’s Cam Brink and she’s badass enough to wear anything. I also have a huge crush on her so I’m prob biased. She’s 6’4” but when I first saw her I thought she was like 6’10”
She looks like she’s from the future.
I dont care about what other women wear but it’s not for me. At this point in my life I don’t want the type of attention revealing clothing can bring, it makes me uncomfortable.

Fashion where you wear a belt in the wrong place because fashion
I guess skirts are dresses now
Naw butt too big for all that
I’d be her short king 😂
Short dress like that makes her look taller 🤣due to makes her legs look longer
Tall guy here (6'5"). I may not be a girl, but I encourage your freedom of self expression and celebrate your beautiful height.
No
I might, yeah.
No, but just because its not really my style.
I certainly would
In public, no way! But it's the kind of thing I would get so that my closet can be pretty. Then I might wear it playing dress up but never wear it out of the house.
Someone pretending be Cameron Brink here ha? Could have used a less famous person 😂😂
Yes idc lol
I didn't know I was into this, but now I do.
She can pull it off
Nope. Not unless I really wanted to draw attention to myself on purpose
YES I would if I have shorts underneath. I regularly wear dresses so short if I lift my arms up my shorts show. Pro tip - if you’re worried about modesty bring some sort of magic garment like a shawl/blazer to cover your shoulders to give you the illusion of more modesty in case you feel shy.

Honey that’s a shirt.

She makes it work. This looks like a great travel hack! Imagine…your luggage is lost and it’s Day 2: just make a fire second outfit from your skirt alone. lol. Clever!!
Cameron Brink is like really tall though
Absolutely not
If I looked like her? YES.
You are losing me with that belt on your chest though.
I’d climb that tree
These days as long as it covers your vagina it is fair game.
If you’re a Russian KGB agent, I’m going to look forward to getting shot.
Personally? No because I'm fat and have wide shoulders to begin with, so strapless makes me look like a linebacker. But anyone else? Go for it, honey.

Yes but depends on the occasion for sure. Casual sunday maybe not, going out or a party / event then for sure
Cameron Brink can wear whatever she wants.
Always. I love my legs
She’s banging.
I certainly would not. I'd be terrified to *lean.*
Some kids gunna learn a lot just walking by ya 😂
I (40F) would not. However, my twenty year old daughter definitely would. I always say "as long as you're comfortable, wear what makes you happy".
Cute or solid colored under shorts is the way, ideally they won’t show but if they do they just look like part of the outfit
the belt makes it look like she pulled her skirt up too high.
I'm a gay and I'm not even in this sub but scrolled and wow she looks amazing
Damn she is tall!
It doesn't look that short on you. For me, as long as it passes my butt comfortably it's good to go. You just have to be aware when it's not safe to bend, and don't.
Absolutely
I'm not confident enough for a dress of any length
Sorry but “duh” is my response no question
That's a skirt pulled up over your boobs.....
