I’m living in an area with well educated and knowing people around, but I really doubt that “Tartan” should mean anything to the majority of them. Had I answered “kilt day”, they should have understood, but then after having checked out on the Internet they had realized that an official kilt day does not exist.
I had a very good walk with birds singing and squirrels fooling about. Nobody asked.
When I came home I said to my wife, who in the meantime had gone up and was preparing the breakfast: “Today is tartan day”.
“Tartan day; does that mean that you are going to wear your kilt all the day?” she asked smiling. She knows what tartan means; because I have told her.
“Yes, darling, today everyone in possession of a kilt is wearing it.”
And so I did.
