Ron, right on, that is basically my view. Based on my earlier alien encounter post, I am going to propose that the official new word for a kilt, skirt, MUG, lavalava, gho, etc. is "grinklecod" and pronounced "shwegrakma" (you expected phonetic spelling maybe from an alien species?), and defined in the Intrauniversal Crangongei dictionary, 763rd edition, as

i) a tubular article of clothing worn by a violent, bipedal species inhabiting the third planet orbiting a minor star in the Kuargrif quadrant. Referred to by the natives by a number of terms in a number of local languages and dialects (most unrponounceable by civilized species). The garment is constructed from any of a number of natural and artificial materials

ii) a large group of quadruped animals on the same planet and domesticated for food

iii) a small, winged creature on the same planet with an odd call that sounds like "aflac".
