Grandmother-of-six Mari Savage and other senior friends in Margate, England, began a campaign this summer to wear hooded sweatshirts and baseball caps, in order to discourage teenagers from dressing that way, which Savage believes encourages gang behavior. Said Savage, to the Daily Telegraph, "Once older people like us get hold of (these garments), they lose all their street cred." [Chicago Sun-Times-AP, 6-28-05] [Daily Telegraph (London), 7-14-05]

street cred.

As long as the senior citizens don't start wearing the baggy pants that show off their underwear...

That joke might work in continents, but not on an island like Great Britain.

I don't know about the whole baggy pants on oldsters being a deterrent, because ugly people wear them all the time without them stopping being cool.
