"used as a sacrifice of shorts", what does "of shorts" mean in this phrase? I think it has nothing to do with the clothes :)Like in this sentence: "The man used his son as a sacrifice of shorts."

Are you sure it isn't "a sacrifice of sorts", meaning a type of sacrifice?

Perhaps if you sent a bit more of the text I might be able to fathom out what it is. OR "shorts" could be "sorts"
