Best quips/retorts to Kilt questions...

[Nighthawk]

Heck yeah!!

I should write some of these down.

Last night I went to Wal Mart to buy a book for my kids. Some guy pulled the whole "nice skirt" thing. I politely told him it was a kilt. He said it's still a skirt, and that I look like a "fag." I pointed to the books and said "You see these things? They're called books. Next time you think you should open your mouth, open one of these, instead. That way the next time you open your mouth, you might not sound so stupid." And I walked away.

When people ask if I'm Scottish, I usually just say "a little bit" but sometimes, I like to use a fake accent, and totally bs them. And I make it a point to lie about everything, and see how big I can make those lies before they call me on it. Typically it ends when one of my friends notices what I'm doing and spoils my fun.

Or, I like to respond in a different fake accent and say "No, Australian."

Or if I'm in a slightly less silly mood, and the conversation goes beyond one question, I will explain that you don't have be Scottish, and point out that my great grandfather wore a kilt,and he was a black guy from Chicago.

That's great! When I get asked if I'm Scottish, I say "I'm made in America with Scottish parts."

I'll try to remember that line.

Instead of getting into a pointless argument about whether a kilt is a skirt or not - and the really thick ones are never going to be convinced it is a man's garment anyway - why not: "The kilt is a skirt like a Ferrari F1 is a car"

Or maybe that is too subtle too?

Perhaps, but I like it !

You know, most of the time when people say "nice skirt", it's more of a compliment; they just forgot the proper word "kilt".
So I simply answer "Thank you." with a smile, and each goes his way.

One member of the forum (who I cannot recall to give proper credit)put forth the following when asked if he plays the bagpipes: "No I don't..do you play the banjo?" It does leave them confused for a second or two.. . .

OH, man, I have a new favorite. I may have to go out kilted all day just to try to get someone to ask me that!

The problem is I play the pipes AND Old Time banjo...

I had a lady ask when I was going to dress in drag again. This one kinda pissed me off.
But keeping a level head I told P`og mo th`oin. She just looked at me with dumbest look on her face. So I translated it for her. "KISS MY ***"
