Main Entry:2kilt
Function:noun
Date:circa 1730
1 : a knee-length pleated skirt usually of tartan worn by men in Scotland and by Scottish regiments in the British armies
2 : a garment that resembles a Scottish kilt


It follows that if the definition includes the term "resembles" then all the above are kilts and the difference is in the eye of the beholder.

Of course we are all wearing skirts, so what? If the gentleman whose comments started this thread are weighed, he might have been putting out that unless "It's a bona-fide real thing" he would not want it, as a way around wearing a skirt.

Yesterday, I was out at an Indian Restraint and was approached by an elderly Asian woman who ask what the occasion was, when I responded "no occasion I just like wearing kilts" She smiled a real big smile, patted me on the shoulder and said "Good for you, it takes courage to do what you believe in" loud enough that most of the restaurant heard her; as I walked up to pay the bill, everybody smiled and a couple tables gave me the thumbs up.

It does take a confidence to wear a kilt, any kind of kilt; even if it is just a pleated skirt.ith:
