You're definitely not from around here. Flagman is usually a flagWOMAN and it seems to be the choice job during the summer for the college girls (read young and pretty and seems to always wear a too small top and shorts). Maybe it is a psychological thing...... pretty girl equals guys will look at and pay attention to her and presumably the sign she holds too.
