    What the bleep is Gang Wary?

    Do we have another peculiar Canadian or Brittish term to learn? Heck, I just got used to pillard.

    That's pillock, oh and BTW there is on 'T' in British, don't you Americans have a tendency to remove letters from the Queen's English.

    As for the Gang Wary that must be a Nor. Californian term. That or it might be the Irish bloke from Killarney.

    T-Shirt Slogans

    I am not a big fan of promoting the McMoon image and this includes slogans about what is worn or not worn underneath the kilt. Efforts should be on the positive aspects of kilt wearing rather than continuing the humour and supposed mystic of "traditional". Of course everyone is to their own tastes.
    I enjoy the many different viewpoints of this forum so don't want to appear as being negative.

    So "Gang Wary" really means Tread Softly?

    Like in "Tread softly, but carry a big stick."

    or more like "Watch out, you big lummox, don't step on my foot."
