Ok, so my search for a better alternative to discomfort lead me to MUG's which lead me to XMarks. I like kilts above the various other forms of menswear which are ohter than p@nts (sorry, I'll try not to use such bad language)



But why do we use "unbifurcated" to describe the Kilt or even sarongs? The word makes 'bifurcated' or 'furcated' the root and therefore the norm when bifurcated clothing is really not the global norm. While a case may be made that it is a Western fashion norm, there are far more peoples in the world using non-furcated clothing for men than those that do not.

So, my question is; what word (other than "Kilt") would better describe the return to the norm of Kilted men as opposed to illustrating wearing the Kilt (or sarong, etc) as a deviant or rebellious behavior?

I thought of coining "Unicated" to replace "unbifurcated" for "uni-" meaning "one" and "cate" meaning... I don't know but derived from furcate. All I can find for "Cate" is a 1. a delicacy (food); 2. things bought; 3. to seek or catch.

Unicated sounds nice, though, right?

Short of it is I am not a deviant, I am a traditionalist and MUG sounds like a rebellion rather than the return to sanity that it is.

Not that rebellion isn't fun and all...
