WAGs and Kilt wearing

[Grizzly]

WAGs are Wives and Girlfriends. I know it as a soccer term... Or perhaps a sports term in general.

Jim is quite right, a WAG is an acronym for a wife and girlfriend. The term is mostly used in connection to sports stars other halves. Predominantly used for the partners of rich useless footballers (soccer) or more recently for the partners of the respective Ryder Cup teams (golf)

In the US (or at least in the circles which I run) a WAG is a wild a-- guess. In the UK I guess it would be wild ar-- guess. In my business SWAG is a scientific wild a-- guess or what passes for engineering judgement.

It threw me for a loop, too. SWAGs are part of my job (flight testing).

That would be why I included the definition in the original post then.

I'm just guessing here, but I'd say that anyone who wears a kilt a lot
has a Wife or Girlfriend who likes seeing them in a kilt.

So, how does one win over a SO who is dubious at best and borders
on "slightly hostile"?

Any suggestions?

WAG == wives and girlfriends - a term used here (in Australia), wasn't
current in the USA circa 1980 when I left there so I'm explaining

I first wore a kilt in 1978 while visiting Scotland. We stayed with my wife's Grandfather, who convinced me to wear one of his kilts a few times. This introduction got my wife introduced to the idea. I went for many years without wearing a kilt, but took it up again several years ago when my sons married. Since then I have been wearing it more and more. Initially my wife was, like yours slightly hostile. I persisted, and she started noticing the attention (compliments) even an old bugger like me would get from the fairer sex. She now just shakes her head and puts up with me as she has done for 38.5 years.

I think a very good place to show her that being kilted is a "normal" thing is at a local Highland Games.

Good luck!

1. Wear the kilt ... regularly and watch how her impression changes especially when she sees how other women look at you.
2. I have no more advice at this time.
