    Colloquialisms for When One Wears a Kilt ? (Kilt Code Words)

    Okay, so I didn't see a post like this in the forum after sorting through a few pages by hand and searching with the search algorithm, so I'm going to just start this and see where it goes...

    What do *YOU* call it when you wear a kilt?

    This question could also be...

    When you decide to wear a kilt that day, what do you say to friends about the type of *day* it is?

    People have been asking me if I'm wearing a kilt on a given day because the weather is getting warmer. I immediately respond, "Yes, it is indeed Kilt O'clock." A friend of mine asked me today if it was "Kilterday." I thought that was good.

    I figured people here have to have a favourite colloquialism.

    I refer to it as "kilting." It seems reasonable to a degree.

    When I geek out about different aspects I call it "keeking," kilt-geeking.

    My work schedule has changed now, and I do not work on Fridays. However, thanks to Ern I think everyone in my office knew the expression "Kilt Friday" and I am sure if I was seen sans kilt on a Friday it would provoke a lot of questions.

    Wow. Okay, I'll need to top this one somehow. LOL! Wow.

    Maybe I'll have to tell people at work that when I say I'm going to "get lifted" this weekend, that means I'm wearing a kilt. Technically, it doesn't mean I'm wearing a kilt, but it's a great excuse to throw the primary investigator off of my case.
