Ustedes me podrían a traducir la frase "El se pusó la faja del pantalón con este ya a media pierna".

Hace referencia a que cuando se fue a poner la faja ya el pantalón le estaba llegando a media pierna.

Muchas gracias

I agree with Phil José. If you don't provide more context, it's just a guess...
philgoddard Oct 11, 2020:
I asked the same thing in response to one of José's other questions, but he didn't reply. I have a feeling this text is humorous, but it's hard to tell with so little context. I do know it's about people going through airport security. Help us out if you want us to help you, José!
David Hollywood Oct 11, 2020:
basically it would be nice to know if this is humorous or serious...
David Hollywood Oct 11, 2020:
more context would be helpful to get the right idea

agree Robert Carter : "With his pants round his knees" sounds about right.

thanks Robert and failing more context...
neutral philgoddard : I'm not sure about this. Isn't it just that he's undone his belt and it's hanging down to his knees?
