A term dating back to American 17th century colonial times, that originally referred to African American slaves who when not working would sit and talk with other slaves on the porch of their plantation homes. it did begin as a racial slur and only in the last few decades has it been broadened to also mean lazy people. clerks II did not by any means popularize (or for legal terms on my part, endorse) the term, they just made it known to younger, ignorant viewers of the movie.
c.1300, from Anglo-Norm. boucher, from O.Fr. bouchier "slaughterer of goats," from bouc "male goat," from Frank. *bukk (see buck). The verb is recorded from 1562. Figurative sense of "brutal murderer" is attested from 1529.
"...thanks to a discussion of the term "Dopp Kit" on the mailing list of the American Dialect Society (www.americandialect.org) a couple of years ago, I can assure you that "Dop" or "Dopp" isn't an acronym or abbreviation for anything. According to newspaper accounts unearthed by Merriam-Webster's Jim Rader, the Dopp Kit was first produced by Charles Doppelt, a leather goods designer who immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in the early 1900s. Although it may have been Doppelt's nephew and employee, Jerome Harris, who actually invented the snazzy leather toiletries case, Doppelt was the boss and so the finished product bore a cropped form of his name, giving us the "Dopp Kit." Dopp Kits were manufactured by the Charles Doppelt Company until the firm was purchased by Samsonite in the 1970s, and Dopp Kits today are made by Buxton. The popularity of Dopp Kits was evidently boosted considerably by World War II, in the course of which the U.S. Army issued them to recruits by the millions. Incidentally, the "kit" part of Dopp Kit is not quite the same "kit" we use to mean "a collection of parts used to assemble a whole," as in "model airplane kit." A soldier's "kit" consists of the standard equipment and personal articles issued to and carried by a soldier on a regular basis." http://www.word-detective.com/103001.htm…

To alter a shirt to make it cropped without cutting it, you can try folding or tucking the bottom of the shirt to create a cropped look. You can also use a belt or tie to cinch the shirt at the desired length. Additionally, you can gather and secure the excess fabric at the back of the shirt to create a cropped style.
Shirts can be cropped without cutting them by simply tucking them into high-waisted bottoms or tying them up at the waist to create a cropped look. This technique allows you to adjust the length of the shirt without permanently altering it.
