If the speaker is female or someone I think is just pulling my leg a bit, I quote "It's a kilt not a skirt, it's a sporran not a purse". When my ex-wife would call it a skirt, I would just give her the "fish eye", that look that says she should know better, but that's part of the reason that she's my ex-wife. If the speaker is a snarky younger male wandering past with other young males, I give all of them my "hard man" look, like the snort that the bull elk warns off the young bucks with. If it's a young female with other females, I just wink and silently wish I were half my age. When people ask me if the rude behavior bothers me, I tell them that it's nice to know that I have a knife in the top of my sock if I ever want to do something about it.
On a lighter note: I remember the first time a lady (with her husband) asked me if I wore my kilt "Regimental". I replied that my tartan was Bermuda Blue Plaid but then I realized she meant was I going "commando". I laughed and said that I never do, not wanting to ruin a $300 kilt with my sweaty backside.
