I don't think we should call it a willie. Imagine all of the aweful "willie" puns that go along with a kilt. (think of the adjectives we use to describe a good kilt)
Wellll.... If we go by the definitions I wrote down (which were the ones in use at the time and pretty well accepted)...
I think Steve's point is well made - I may be re-inventing the wheel with this thread. What I was thinking of was a "shorthand" term for the "modern" kilt much like the term "TANK" is shorthand for the 8 yard hand sewn traditional tartan kilt. The flaw in my logic may be that "TANK" only needs to represent one kilt type while some other shorthand term would need to stand for a range of modern kilt styles. With that acknowledgement made - I still like the term "JEEP" - even if it is a a somewhat pointless exercise.
And Phil, the other thing that should be thought of is that Jimmy wasn't trying to make up another word or define a style of Kilt. He simply said "The well made Hand-Sewn Kilt will wear like a Tank." And the thing just took off all on it's own.
It's like that some times with History.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

My thoughts exactly.
Still, for a basic, durable, cargo hauling, workhorse of a kilt, I'd say Jeep is pretty good (I'd actually compare it more to a pick-up truck, but none of those sound as nice)
