Garment Names For Dummies

[motorman4life]

We have gone round-and-round here on this topic and while it is true that a kilt is technically a man's skirt, calling a kilt is a skirt would be like calling a tuxedo a mere suit or calling a diamond a stone.

The fact is, there is a difference between a kilt and a woman's skirt and when idiots choose to contemptuously and mockingly label your kilt a skirt, they are not trying to be technical, literal or precise; they are trying to disparage the wearer (as being a transvestite) by demeaning the kilt as being a common women’s skirt.

My usual response is “If you prefer to call my kilt a skirt, because it turns you on (to think of me in a skirt), then knock yourself out!”

I used to get that kinda guff from my younger brother. He would call my kilts skirts and all the other things the uneducated do, one day I asked him straight out what his problem was. His response was very telling, he said he would never have the courage to do somthing so far from normal. I said, you mean you don't have the balls? Yep that was it. He has been many places with me in my kilt. He has seen the reactions of people, especially women. I don't think it will be long for him outside of kilts. I just keep letting him know about kilts and kilt makers. The weird thing, I heard him defending the kilts to my mom. kilt on!

I said something along those lines once- I asked the guy if the women he goes for are so masculine that they look like a bearded redhead or if he just thinks I'm hot. And then I called him Booboo and told him to look for his Yogi somewhere else.
