some people just don't know it's called a kilt.
or have forgotten the correct term for it.

I mentioned in another post the old woman who accosted me in the pub on friday.
"nice dress" she said. " I'm scotch too"
"what's your name"?
"bill"?...." that's not very scotch is it"?
old girl was well over 60 and didn't know the difference between a skirt and a dress.
