Says one of my co-workers, "Man, you get more **** in that skirt than I could ever get!" Whatever he calls it, the girls in the bar flirt with me and ask to have their pictures taken with me. ;)

As has been stated, most people who call it a skirt just don't know what a kilt is. But I wear my Utilikilt at work exclusively (unless I'm off-hours, in which case I wear a tartan) and most people who comment on it call it a kilt, and they're all compliments. Several times I've run into Scottish gentlemen and they're very happy to see someone in a kilt. Other than that, Boston is an extremely Irish town, and the predominant comment is, "I love your kilt - you must be Irish." The red beard probably helps....
