No. It is making fun of the new trend of wearing sportswear (like plus fours) in town. In 1931
Usually boys would wear short trousers until they are old enough to count as "young men" Then they would start wearing long trousers.
I think my mom (although she is not that old) told me it was because kids alway fall on their knees and would tear their trousers then...
In the joke this is reversed
Yes. That is what I meant.
