Do Your Pleats "WAGGLE"

[Standard]

My pleats get to waggling pretty good if I'm in a hurry, or if I'm passing a pretty lass I suppose. A good waggle helps with air flow in the summer time too

Some just WIGGLE

Have just been out for fast food - I was at an exhibition yesterday and all that loading teaching, talking and networking, then loading up again has resulted in the stuff still in the car and me feeling shattered - but it is a chilly night, very clear.

Along the road the streetlights throw shadows in front of you, and the feminine version of the waggle is in waltz time.

With unsewn pleats my kilts have a lot of movement a sort of 'sway and flick', when moving at speed.

I did slow down a bit on the way back, warmed by a complimentary cup of coffee and with a good view of Jupiter and Venus, so the movement was more restrained.

Bees don't swish so I will stick with that.

Bees waggle when indicating the source of nectar.

I try to keep bees out of my pleats.

bees in the pleats are ok ... its when they get past the defenses of the pleat armour that you may be in trouble

I was watching a male pigeon do his dance and then fanning his tail feathers and sweeping the ground to impress a female pigeon (I was impressed but I guess her standards were higher) ... it occurred to me that the fanned out tail feathers sort of resembled all the pleats at the back of the kilt.

So the next time your walking down the street with the pleats waggling back and forth, just think of the pigeon.

with a good view of Jupiter and Venus, so the movement was more restrained.

It'll be nice around Mar 13 ... Jupiter and Venus will appear very close together in the sky ... two bright lights so close together - I'm sure there will be many UFO reports around that time.

I thought we also used the word "swing" for pleats, but I haven't seen it in this thread, so maybe not...
Oh well.

Sorry, but a dog wags its tail.

"Swagger + waggle = swoon"? I think not. . .

Not unless I am rapidly moving my head back and forth as they do when walking.

I should think waggling would be what I would do with my eyebrows while swishing my pleats if a lovely young thing looks back over her shoulder at me in my kilt after we pass one another...

Just kidding, spouse of mine! I would never really do that!

I believe my grandmother always refers to it as a swish, and the walk itself, the scottish swagger.

I cant ever tell if mine does, i look dumb walking in circles trying to look at my but.
