It harkens back to a profound line expressed in film, in which the protagonist remarks to the object of his desire, "I see you're drinking 1%. Is that because you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to."
I recently returned from a workout in my (also old) gym shorts, with the typical chill setting in as my sweat began to freeze. In order to comfortably make dinner, I threw on my favorite long athletic pants, pictured here:

My delayed background to this story: I am currently living in the house we rent for US team athletes to come to town and train using state-of-the-art facilities with their teammates and trainers. There was just one Olympian shacking up in our place at the time.
He comes into the kitchen, "Nice track pants." to which I respond "Thanks! I've had them since the 7th grade! They can do this!" as I lift and stretch and pull them out to demonstrate the parachute nature of the old threads. He chips in "Why don't you grab some of the leggings our sponsors give us? You can wear leggings you know? Like, some people can't pull it off, but..."
AW THANKS! So, I grabbed a pair of the nice, tight, compression-style leggings. Know how many times I've worn them? Zero. Look at those Adidas stripes! And the stretch and give!
