To play the devils advocate - having had a number of senior moments where I a word,that I use almost daily, will not come to mind, let ask this question. If you could not remember or never knew the proper name for the kilt how would you describe it?
I find it hard to believe that in this day and age that someone would not have heard of a kilt, on the other hand, if you don't use the word often it may come come to mind when you need it.
There are ways to handle episodes of CRS (Can't Remember Stuff) that are better than what has been reported here. Assuming the "lady" was in pants just write it off to lack of air flow to her brain, since she obliviously had her head up her ........

I don't think the problem is nomencalture. The problem is, she was offended by it, whether she knew the name or not.

And, at the end of the day, it's OK that she's offended. Those are her feelings and she's entitled to them.
Different strokes for different folks.
If I had to guess, I would suspect more people are put off by Bradley's tattoos than his kilts. Like it or not, people are still forming those first impressions of us, no matter how well we blend in with the crowd. But he's also mentioned he has thick skin, which anyone is going to need if they are going to step outside the herd.
Think of all the styles we have seen come and go, several of which made people stand out in public. If you're not prepared to stand out of the crowd by wearing a kilt, you likely are not prepared to wear a kilt.
