    Thanks, I feel comfortable here. Every now and then you find a site by accident that is really good.

    BTW, I like that Avatar - it has a slight statue of David feel to it. I just hope you've got a little more on below the waist.

    here are the real basics:

    tank - 8ish yd. kilt
    Uk - utilikilt
    AK - amerikilt
    tartan - plaid design of a traditional kilt, usually wool
    trousers, pants - similar to handcuffs, used to bind and restrict one's movement. Also a form of curse or blasphemy to the truly kilted. Often confusing, while the word is plural, it represents one article of what some call "clothing"

    David, that's good - better than saying I look like James Brolin (a common one, for some reason :confused: ). When I worked a FedEx route, the most common one was "lumberjack," and as a security guard, it was "Ogre."

    ..and I'm fully clothed in that picture.

    As for definitions, this idea comes up every now and then, and everyone says it's a good idea, but, to the best of my knowledge, nothing definitive has ever come of it. The only thing I can find on our site that might help you is the abbreviations from the FAQ list:

    AK - Amerikilt
    BK - Bear Kilts
    FK - Freedom Kilts
    FLS - Freelander Sporrans!
    MUG - Male Unbifurbricated Garment (not to be used lightly)
    PK - Pittsburgh Kilts
    SWK - Stillwater Kilts
    TFCK - 21st Century Kilts
    UK- Utilikilt
    USAK - USA Kilts

    It's the eyes and the attitude in the look that is a bit "Brolin" like, My older brother had the same thing at times his "Look" would remind us of Burt Reynolds.

    I'd like the James Brolin comparisons on looks alone but I think that Burt had better luck with good looking women.
