The first couple of days that I wore these things to work a few of my friends teased me with the "skirt" word. It was all in fun, though. Only one person kept it up and that's because she's a Chinese programmer...from China, and had NO clue. Once I sat down with her and used the word "Kilt" about 40 times and showed her pictures of Sean Connery, Ewan MacGregor and some of the guys on this board, the word "stuck".

She wasn't ever being nasty at all...not once. She'd just never heard the word or ever seen one, before.
