beat up for calling it a skirt?

[makfromtazz]

By any definition either a kilt is a skirt OR a skirt is a kilt ..Kilt means in old Scottish ..to tuck clothes around the body or wrap around the body ...In Scandinavian it is kjalta meaning pleated..In dictionaries a typical description mostly reads something akin to "A short tartan pleated skirt worn by men or by Scottish Highlanders" ..I would guess that the kilt pre dated what is now known as skirts ..Dates back to the 1500's (16th century) if not before..

The garment we refer to now as the Great Kilt was not only worn but also used as overnight shelter according to what I've read over the years.. Not saying that trousers are Johnny Come Lately's or anything but our kilts have been worn by men for around 500 years most likely too..
