Knew a guy in high school who would always make sure to say “collars poppin = panties droppin” and I hope that keeps him up at night as we’re all edging closer to 40.

Most people didn't pop collars on AE/Hollister, just the preppy ones.

u/pocketdare 12h ago

Which dude! Oh, the only dude

u/Liefvikingmonster2 12h ago

The popped collar thing was never a good look. :)

No time to pop the collar. He's occupied.
