Meaning
Very short, tight shorts that 'ride up' the batty (bottom) — the skimpy, high-cut shorts that became a bold, provocative dancehall fashion for women, worn to the dance and the stage show. Named for the way they ride high on the backside, 'batty riders' are a defiant, body-confident style, celebrated and debated in equal measure.
