poppin' my collar

three 6 mafia (who, incidentally, do not wear a single collared shirt throughout their entire cruise in the 'scalade) was rapping to me about poppin' my collar, so I decided to investigate this poppin' business. wiki says the following on the issue:

"one element of this trend [sic] that went mainstream and remained popular for most of the decade were short shirt collars worn unfolded against the neck with the top one or two buttons unfastened."

the author then continues with a stern warning:

"except in the most conservative communities this became standard casual wear for both men and women. with the exception of business suits, to wear one's collar folded appeared awkward or stuffy."

first, it took me so long to realize that a short shirt collar worn unfolded against the neck is a popped collar. why did they not just write "popped"? more importantly, what kind of frat boy wrote this article? who died and made folded collars akward or stuffy? wikipedia you are on thin ice.

To me it was perfectly clear that they were describing a "popped collar". If you have so much spare time perhaps you should start making entries for Wikipedia! You could include links to Exquisite Vanity at the end of each article.

maybe you should write wiki articles, since they are so clear to you.

some suggested topics in which you seem to have expertise:
