cut-offs
Frayed summer legwear
Cut-offs are shorts made by cutting the legs off jeans or other pants, typically with ragged unhemmed edges: She wore cut-offs and a tank top to the beach.
The term also refers to points where something stops or is disconnected—a cut-off date is a deadline, and cut-offs can be valves or switches that stop flow or power.
