Probably I missed some earlier debate on calling a kilt or similar male garment a MUG; but to me it is a most unfortunate choice!

For here in the United Kingdom a 'MUG' apart from being a variety of drinking vessel, is descriptive of someone who is not very bright, a dupe, maybe an idiot.

Certainly I for one would never in view of the above describe my kilt as a 'MUG', for it would be giving even the kindest of souls just too much ammunition-for unfortunate jokes, puns even.

Better by far if the question comes up to describe a kilt as a man's skirt: in fact it is the route I've taken when necessary all over Europe and the UK, and even as far away as Australia without any problems.
