Final Jeopardy Answer
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Bobby socks
Final Jeopardy Explanation
“Bobby socks,” often referred to as “bobby sox,” are a type of women’s sock that was popular during the 1940s and 1950s in the United States. Their name comes from the term “bob,” meaning to cut short, a reference to the ankle or lower calf length of these socks, in contrast to the long stockings typically worn by women and girls of that period.
Bobby socks were usually white and often folded or cuffed over at the top. They were typically paired with saddle shoes or loafers, and this style became iconic of the teenage girls of the post-war era, who were sometimes referred to as “bobby soxers”, inspiring songs like “Bobby Sox to Stockings” by Frankie Avalon.
