"I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings."
From High Flight, a poem by
Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee
412 Squadron, RCAF
As I calmly explained to my mathematics professor this last week: It would be a skirt IF I was wearing panties under it. Since I'm not wearing panties, it's a kilt.
And she did a bit on that one.

Beware the Kilt! Oh yes, it starts all soft and warm and nice but soon you'll feel a scratch or two. That's the Kilt; it's injecting tartan into your veins.
The need to possess another Kilt starts as a wee thought and builds until you can't think straight. So you buy another Kilt. And the process begins anew.
My eldest was invested into Scouts in his kilt and several of the boys wanted to know why he was wearing a skirt.
One girl turned around quickly and said, rather loudly, "It's not a skirt! Its a KILT you idiots!".
There followed a 5 minute discussion about kilts and our heritage.

Proud, but homesick, son of Skye.

Smart girl, and doesn't mince words. I like that.
