Final J question: Two of the 3 contestants said it just as I did. I SO thought it was
culottes. Oh, well.

(16,597 posts)Too many points of reference to make sense. I first said culotte then I was trying to think of something that uses the word crop. Because the quotes in the clue referred to cut off so you're thinking of an item that's cut off. But it goes:
hair style = bob = cut off = item of clothing using bob/cut off = bobby socks
or
cut off = bob like the hair style = something that is bobbed = socks
I generally don't think of cutting fabric as bobbing something. Also when you look up the history, the socks were actually folded or cuffed and not cut off.
