kilt lifters

[The Supreme Canuck]

Actually, no. An assault is any unwanted physical contact. If I poke you in the arm, that can be assault. The charges probably won't stick, but it is technically assault.

WOW! I misread this on the forum page and thought this thread was under the "Kilt Accessories" heading. I was trying to think of what a kilt lifter would be, or why it would be necessary!

I've only ever had a man try to pull up the back. I actually impressed myself at the speed a sgain can come out of my hose... course, the sgain was a cheepo $5.99 from a Chinese import(no edge).

anywho, only made it 3 inches above my knees. I wear boxers under most o' the time, cause when I wear it, I am at work or school. this time I was at work, the man, (coworker who is a practical jokester and known pesterer) was quickly informed it was a secret tradition that was passed down from father to father, and kept inside of a family. I don't think he got the joking, but I didn't think it appropriate to be flashing people on the sales floor.
best part is, he later told me that he wouldn't be caught dead in a kilt. I simply replied "I guess your no where man enough".

He also tried to have my "whittle 'n chip" from scouting revoked. the "whittle 'n chip" is a card that every boyscout earns when they go through a knife and axe safety course. really funny however, since I am the teacher and person who signs off/revokes them in my troop.

I actually have never heard the question. I've only heard statements, "your wearing something under there right" and "you better have something on under there". no one has ever even asked my why I am wearing it.

*now feeling a bit sad at the jokes I wish I could have made*
oh well.

"Whittle and chip"? "Knife and axe safety course"...? What have the Boy Scouts come to of late? When I was a Scout way back in the 60's we all knew about knives and axes and carried our shooters with us on camping trips. The Boyscout Jamboree was awash with these things and I don't remember having to take any courses for them....?

It's not really a course, more of a control factor. The Whittlin Chip and Totem Chip (for Cubs & Boy Scouts respectively) were created to give rules to handling a knife. It added some respect to the use of the object as a weapon. After so many cubs and boys were stabbing or cutting each other it had to be done. After the small instruction and quiz over the material, the card is given. If an infraction of the rules occurs a corner of the card is cut off. after 4 infractions, the card is destroyed, and the scout has to start all over again.

And I've been on campouts where you see young kids with knives and are like "what in the world.???....".

"Of course I'm wearing it right." And, "or worse, under where?"

I may have answered before, but I was just thinking about a time when a guy I know tried to pull mine up. It was St. Patty's Day, and as I passed, he reached out with his shelaleigh (sp?) and pulled up the selvage. I whipped around when I realized the cold blast was due to lack of wool and popped his stick with my own cromach and made my stare tell the story.

Now if a lady really wants to look or perhaps just feel, well, we might work something out.

Another time, a young punk tried to lift it, and I also had the sgiean dubh out, assuring him that he was welcome if he really was man enough. It was mostly in fun, but he wisely decided not to see how manly he was.

Ah,the rigors of being a sex object!

I read thru this thread, sometimes with a small smile. I have only just gotten into world of kilts and kilt wearers so kilt lifters is a realativily new thing to me. I have seen women try to sneek a peek and am moritfied. I would never think of asking what a man is wearing under his kilt. That's just not lady-like (as mentioned in more than a few posts). Now, i am not a prude by any stretch of thought, but anyone who would take that kind of liberty deserves what ever consequence of their actions. On the other hand, I have had offers to show me what it means to be regimental. Oh My!

Just not gonna happen...no man and not even the most beautiful lass will make it happen. Some tried but nobody made it much further as touching my kilt. Mostly a simple but convincing: "DON'T!!!" works fine. Slapped a few hands, grabbed some wrists and a couple of backward kicks.
I never even discuss the "issue" and something like "show me yours and I'll show mine" is out of the question (some girls might just do that).
When the kilt goes up because of a wind gust, so be it...not a big deal, but nobody (including myself) will lift my kilt.
