Dimensions' loiterer
A couple of months ago I was over in Germany for work, and one evening I managed to slip out for a bit of shopping. While hunting World Cup souvenirs I stumbled upon some nice looking slacks for the amazing price of 12 euro. The sizing is different so I grabbed the two largest sizes off the rack, and found that the largest fit nicely, other than it needed hemming.
Once I got home I forgot to take them to be hemmed for ages, then forgot to pick them up, but finally this week I am able to wear them. Walking between buildings at work today I was noticing that the cut is a little different than what I'm used to, being a little snugger in the hip, backside, and thigh, and a little looser in the lower leg. As I was striding along I noticed that this resulted in a nice swishing feeling of the lower leg. I thought "swish isn't a word you get to use very often." Then I remembered that I had seen it not long ago....
In the thread on coming up with new titles for each other, BoBabe suggested for Divals, after he talked about being a girly non-op tran, "swishy" in part of the title, with how it fit in suggesting that in this case "swishy" meant effeminate in some way. This was a new one on me, but I'm not exactly hip, so me missing out euphamisms is hardly surprising.
So now I'm wondering if this style is less....neutral than I thought? Is having some swish considered effimate? Or am reading WAY too much in one flip comment?

PS. Not that I care all that much, but there could be certain situation in which it would be best to know.
