Reluctance

An article described optional new, more revealing uniforms for a well-known chicken wing chain by saying "the crotch of the new shorts is a relatively thin strip, and the back and front are cut at angles to reveal more upper leg and butt." In sharing what employees said about the uniforms, the article can quite bring itself to use a common schoolyard term. "The pants rode high in the back, giving them what’s popularly known as a wedgie."
