Insulted, but didn't have to defend myself...

[Matthews]

Well, I went down to visit my girlfriend for two weeks in Chatham (a city 110km south of where I live.) Anyways, breaking to the point, she gets a jonesing for some pizza so I tell her that I will walk to the pizza parlour about a couple blocks away. As I am walking down this fairly busy street wearing my Irish National kilt I come up and stop at the crosswalk. There are two of those "wear your pants halfway down your butt" teenagers standing there as well. Suddenly one looks right at me, points, and yells at the top of his lungs, "You're a F****T!" Before I could even process what has just happened 4 girls in their early 20's who're in a car stopped at the red light roll down their windows and start yelling at the guys about how cool kilts are and how "hot" men in kilts are and how "masculine" any man in a kilt is. All I said was, "Thank you I appreciate the comments." The "hood rats" just looked at the ground and walked the other way!

The size of the brain of that person who did the shouting is matched only by the size of his reproductive organs.

Personally, I'd be happy to tell him that. Good on ya for taking the high road, and lucking out.

Some times it is better to be lucky than it is to be good.

That time you lucked out! :P

To me it sounds as if those teenagers have some insecurities in regards to their masculinity! Good to hear what the girls told them.

Anytime one has four 20 something females come to your defense it is a good day 8)

I was walking down the street with a girl I work with one night, and a very drunk guy burst out laughing and shouted, "You're wearing a skirt!" I just ignored him, but my friend stopped and stared at the guy, saying, "It's a kilt, and it's awesome!" The guy's girlfriend just looked embarassed.

Andrew,

'tis a well known fact that teenagers don't have their frontal lobes fully developed yet, hence very poor decision making ability...like where to wear their pants and who to insult...

Forgive them, for the know not what they do...after kicking their mutant arses of course

It's not well-known, but the fashion of wearing pants down past the belt-line comes from American prisons. Wearing pants that low indicates that the prisoner is "owned" by another, so hands off.

In short, the look could be called "Sweetheart of the Cell Block." "F----T," indeed.
