When I first saw the title to your thread I thought it said, "I Hate Shots." I thought to myself, that's not very unusual! OOPS!

To look at this more from a social trends angle, when I was growing up (which is a good while ago now), males would wear short pants at primary school (ages 4-11), then transition to long trousers some time during their first year at secondary school (11-18), though some did so straightaway. It was pretty much unheard of to see males over the age of 12 wearing shorts in public.
This convention, along with many others, began to break down in the 1970s, and now one sees men, even in very late middle age, out and about in shorts, especially at this time of year. But even in the 1980s, I remember a guy from the generation before mine commenting disapprovingly that it was 'poor form' for people to be on the golf course wearing shorts. I personally find it difficult to adapt to changing trends, and still view the world much as it was in the sixties, and thus even now find it a bit absurd to see adults wearing shorts in public.
It's amazing the difference only a couple generations can make.

Too right! 'Transitioning' now appears to refer to something very different.....
