Uggs are like bolo ties, crocs, stupid hats, and yellow cars: Their owners can instantly be dismissed as complete buffoons.

On a related topic, a certain male relative of mine--otherwise a normal, middle-aged adult--wears Ugg boots. All the time. I have tried to explain to him how wrong that is (I think we can all agree it's bad enough for women, but inexcusable for men), and he thinks it's perfectly normal. So, let me get Farkers' take on this question, and conduct an informal survey:

Q: If you see a guy wearing Ugg boots, especially in a warm climate where there's never any snow or ice, do you assume that he is:
(a) Just an average guy--wearing Uggs doesn't say anything at all about him
(b) A douchebag
(c) Gay
(d) A gay douchebag

What's the consensus here?

Frankly, my initial reaction would probably be that he had some kind of developmental disability.

But if I was to find out he was ostensibly a normal human male, I'd revise that down to "tithead" or possibly "farkwit."

Have U ever worn a pair? They're mad swag. Girls see those & kno U reek of confidence. It'z like all tha thangs ppl dismiss. Dude, I'm not peacocking 4U. I'm peacocking 4 tha women. Ask a ho "Do U like tha smell of AXE?" They'll holla back "I do" and then U got yo'self a shorty, playa. Or go to tha store & do a blind test. Start spraying AXE around and then Old Spice. U tell me what wins. AXE OBVI cuz it is WINNING. Im just sayin, "have an open mind" & up ur game. If U think it's cool 2 dress like an extra in the Lawd of tha Rings, just ask a biatch she'll be like "GET OUTTA MY HOUSE". If U put on a tank top you can't fake tha funk on a nasty dunk. U got 2 have some physical game, but if U got tha game, tha style, & tha speak, that's ya peacock and when a shorty sees U she'll holla back "Boom goes tha dynamite."

I have a pair of Uggs--they're comfy and warm. Would never wear them to the office but for shopping or just out and about, absolutely. They're no sillier than leg warmers, "fashion" scarves, or any other fashion fad that's come and gone over the years.

I'd be more worried about why I cared so much what another man was wearing that I badgered him incessantly and then decided to ask other men for advice on this topic.

I usually see Uggs paired up with sweatpants, hair piled on top of the head, and entirely too much makeup. They've become a necessary part of the 'lazy slob' uniform.

Since we can't outright ban lazy slobs, this is a nice start.

I think you're a little harsh on WOMEN wearing Uggs. I lived in Connecticut, and as long as you wear them in the winter AND NOT THE FRICKIN 80 DEGREE SUMMER, they're a fine piece of footwear. Hell, I dated a girl who really rocked purple Uggs.

However, I totally agree that they are not suitable for men under almost any circumstance.

They are the worst fashion statement. Bleah.

Was in Vegas, saw a woman at the craps table wearing Uggs, a super-short cowgirl dress, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader-style gloves-with-the-wrist-extensions-thingies, big poofy bleach blonde hair and topped it all off with a Viking helmet.

Most hideous combo ever.

Didn't stop me from buying her drinks and sleeping with her, though. Turns out, she'd gotten married the day before, and her husband was in their room banging a cocktail waitress.

Wait, what was i talking about? Oh yeah, Uggs. Hate 'em. They look stupid

FTA the mid-calf boot ban did not specify what kind of contraband the middle school mules have been smuggling in their Uggs, cell phones and personal devices are strictly forbidden in class

Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a personal device. We have to use the indefinite article, "a personal device", never ... your personal device.

I have a pair of Uggs that I received as an xmas gift 15 years ago when I requested "slippers". I will wear them outside to retrieve the dogs, and around the house. I wouldn't ever wear them out. They have holes in a few spaces where the lining meets the sole, which I have repaired with duct tape. They have been great "slippers", but I don't know why anyone would wear them out and about.
