Default Assless Chaps...?

The description of this forum says..."Talk about your local show off joints, assless chaps, fingerless gloves, 30-minute Starbucks rides and all your black leather apparel..." etc.

Have I missed something? Here in Texas we only know of one kind of chaps...whether they're used for riding bikes or riding horses I thought ALL chaps were assless. If they had asses then they'd be pants...right?

Of course sometimes when they have asses in them that describes another scenario-like someone with a serious personality flaw wearing
chaps.

With 114 posts, I would have thought you'd know better than this.

Not for nothing but I believe that description was in reference to the General B/S Forum located here:

THIS forum does not say that...the General BS Forum says that. It's that-a-way! ^

I'll never wear any other kind. But my wife always says after I put them on that they're no longer assless? Why does she say that?

Assless Chaps - used for motorcycle riding and looking generally gay when you leave them on walking around rallies carrying helmuts and showing off the leather when it's 100 degrees out...
*****s - Short chaps used for branding and general ranch work
Shot guns - Used for showing working cow horses, bridle horses and reigners
Show chaps - used to make fat girls look better when they show western pleasure horses
Bat wings - use specifically for showing cutting horses
