Kilted Taunters

[auld argonian]

So...back in the "Too Trad" thread, I jokingly suggested that we laugh at the guys wearing pants at the Highland Games...

...and, lord knows, we get taunted enough...from "Kiltie, Kiltie Cauld Bum" to "Hey...Braveheart...whadaya wear under that?"...ad infinitum...ad nauseum.

Anybody suggest any taunts that a couple of kilted guys can hurl at the pantsted guys when they walk past? I mean. hey...the Kilted Empire strikes back, eh?

GENIUS

I think this would be especially effective if the bep@nted scoundrels were to lob the first taunt at two or more kilted dudes/gentlemen. Unfortunately, I'm at a bit of loss as to what the counter might be, but I'll think about it...

Fantastic idea, hmmm....I'm going to have to give this one a wee bit of thought!

Cheers,

something similar to what steve martin did when guys in a bar made fun of his nose in "roxanne" would be best.

in just a few months of running around in these things, i already think i have heard the most common taunts over and over. i have asked a few people whether they could come up with something more original and/or whether that was the best they could do. i can be snippy with replies, but for the most part i ignore them-- then i make a point of catching their eye and smiling at them after a lovely lass compliments my attire.

I suppose one could point out that, no matter how you fancy them up, pants are the garb of common workmen.

That said, there's no dishonor in honest work. It just portrays pants in proper light.

I have some standard retorts.

I don't look as good as you in unisex clothing,
The cleaners lost my baggy-*** wrinkly cargo shorts,
Well, pants can't handle what I got under here,
etc...

I heard plenty of them here on the forum back when I stopped wearing the kilt.
Nighthawk's comes to mind.
He wrote something along the lines of, you like to get your (pecans) in a bind.

1) What's wrong? Ugly knees?
2) Did y'all call each other before you got dressed this morning?
3) Did you avoid pleats because they make your hips look big?
4) CONFORMIST!

I suppose Steve Martin’s “Die you gravy sucking pig” is off the table.

How about “Hey, I put my kilt on two legs at a time, just like every other man”
