"abnormally high waist"
Like everything else in fashion, the waist height of jeans rises and falls with the times - the word "abnormally" is ridiculous. There is no "normal" in fashion trends, there is only "currently fashionable". The oft-repeated idea that jeans with natural waist lines don't flatter any figures is just wrong; low waists make the torso appear longer and the legs shorter and look worse on many people, and in any case, it is as predictable as the sun coming up that in a few years low waists will be out again and everyone will be laughing at how ugly they are. Anyone who doesn't realize this just hasn't been around long enough.

To fix this article

This is a surprisingly mainstream concept to get a speedy. Editors who have never heard of something should do the least bit of sleuthing to find out if it's true or not, rather than guessing way outside of their field of knowledge.

This areticle needs to have sources added to it, including a reference to the urban dictionary. It also needs a picture--maybe David can move outside of his usual arena and find a good image.

This is silly

"abnormally high waist" Like everything else in fashion, the waist height of jeans rises and falls with the times - the word "abnormally" is ridiculous. There is no "normal" in fashion trends, there is only "currently fashionable". The oft-repeated idea that jeans with natural waist lines don't flatter any figures is just wrong; low waists make the torso appear longer and the legs shorter and look worse on many people, and in any case, it is as predictable as the sun coming up that in a few years low waists will be out again and everyone will be laughing at how ugly they are. Anyone who doesn't realize this just hasn't been around long enough.
