"long shorts"?

[ohmalley]

in my ongoing hunt for shorts that don't come down to my shins, i came across these.
now, they look as tho they're shorter than the average board short, as seen on this page. and yet they're called "long shorts". i'm pretty sure i've seen other companies refer to similarly cut shorts this way as well. what gives? is it irony? or are these shorts actually much longer (and hence wider) than typical board shorts? just wondering if this is some sort of style lingo i'm not privy to.

Wow! Those are expensive...

Do you have a very wide waist compared to your height or something? Most MMA shorts don't even touch my knees.

nah i'm just short. i usually wear a 32. i've got a pair of ouano's and they come down to just below my kneecap which is reasonable but i'd prefer something a few inches shorter.
