Have You Ever Wondered Why

         

... girl's short socks are called "bobby socks"?

   
   

"Bobby" comes from bob, meaning to cut short, as in bobtail and bobby pins -- pins used with bobbed hair. Since
the socks described by the term are cut much shorter than the earlier knee-high socks girls wore, they were called
"bobby socks."
