I am trying to figure out what that "sock line" quote means. In the episode "Dances with Darlene," there's a dialogue between Roseanne and Becky after Darlene tries on the dresses. Here's what the dialogue is saying:

Roseanne: [to Darlene] ....of course, you're going to have to start shaving below the sock line.

Becky: [to Roseanne] Those aren't socks.

Roseanne says "the" sock line implying the line itself, but Becky says "those" implying plural. I'm confused. What does that exactly mean? Can anyone explain?

That Darlene's legs were either dirty or very hairy (dark) giving the look that she wore socks.

That Darlene's legs were either dirty or very hairy (dark) giving the look that she wore socks.
Oh, haha... That makes sense. Thanks, Irene. I guess they stereotyped Darlene as being "masculine" where she's not girly enough to shave her legs or wear sandals. :lol:
