Are Not Trousers Just Two "Skirts" Connected?
I mean look at trousers. The cloth surrounds each leg like a skirt...just like a kilt surrounds our waist.
Trouser legs vary in length for purpose and fashion, just like skirts.
Maybe we kilted guys should start calling trousered guys "Two Skirts."
Maybe when someone teases or insults us calling our kilts a skirt we could point out that they are wearing two skirts, one on each leg.
Maybe we could just happily point out that our one skirt kilt is much more comfortable than their two skirt arrangement.
Maybe we can get drunk and tap some trousered guy on the shoulder and say, "Why are you wearing skirts around your legs?"

Huh, I never thought of it that way before. I might have to try these!
From the lone Shieling of the misty islands,
Mountains divide us and the waste of seas.
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.

Interesting thought. 
That must mean the opposite is true of Bermuda Shorts. The cloth surrounds each leg like a kilt,just like a kilt surrounds our waist. 
Armageddon was yesterday. Today we have real problem.

That's certainly a novel way of looking at it!

By that logic, any piece of clothing could be associated with similarly worn garments.
Example:
-Are not trousers simply loose tights?
-Is a brassiere not simply a tight fitting short undershirt...
-Are Jockey shorts not simply panties with a fly and made of cotton...
Where does one stop?
I'll admit that a pair of pants looks like two kilts when the pantlegs each have a dozen pleats! :confused:

What's the female corollary of a Jockstrap?
