What does SHORT mean in "Eat my shorts"?

Hello. I'm a South Korean. This is the first time I post a topic in this group.
I'm watching the Simpsons. Bart says "Eat my shorts" a lot and I know it's some kind of insult. But I'm just wondering what SHORT means in this sentence. Do you have any idea? Thank you.

Look at a clothing catalogue. Knee-length
trousers as worn by children and athletes are
generally called "shorts;" so are some varieties
of underwear for men.

(others responded that shorts are underpants, which is true)

The expression was used by Judd Nelson in a movie called "The breakfast Club" which came out in 1985. Altho

Ray is correct. Shorts here means underpants. It is a euphemism for "kiss my ***" or any
other insulting directive that involves oral contact below the waist.
