Kilt T-shirt sayings

[Thunderbolt]

I'm thinking about a few T-shirts I'd like to have made up.

I'm sure ya'll have some pretty funny thoughts about this. I'll start:


"Silly boy, pants are for girls"

"Just say NO to pants"

"What's in YOUR sporran?"

"Funny, most intelligent people call it a kilt"

"It's a kilt, I don't play the bagpipes, I don't wear anything under it, Because it's comfortable, who cares if I'm scottish and I really don't want to hear about your family history"

I had a bunch more in my head earlier today, but I'm drawing a blank just now.

So let's hear it!

By the way, a friend of mine is a shirt printer and also has a sewing machine that does the sewn logos, emblems and such. Maybe if we come up with a cool idea, I can have some made up for x-markers. Just an idea, I'm sure someone has done some already.

"I don't like wearing T-shirts with funny sayings on them, and that's why I wear a kilt."

"Wanna see me lucky charms?"

I'm sorry, but I find this one just a tad on the rude side. If you're going to wear a garment that has a long-standing association with Scotland, you should be a good "ambassador" whilst wearing it and show respect. If you want respect, you have to give it.

My GF's T-shirt will read:

"Is that a claymore in your sporran, or are you just happy to see me?"

Classic, just classic...

Understood.

It was a play off the "I need to vent a little" thread. Not something most would probably ever wear. A type of humor only people here would get.

Thanks.

I would agree. The fact that you might not be Scottish is beside the point, most people associate the kilt with Scotland so if you are going to wear it respect should be shown for its origins.

"Funny, most intelligent people call it a kilt"

I'm personally not a fan of t-shirt sayings that try to be funny, by being insulting. IMHO they tell us more about the wearer than the intended reader.

Actually, I intended this thread to be about funny, whitty sayings. Not about what's wrong with this one or that one, or who or what one should respect, etc.

Some are funny. Some are not. Some are offensive. Most anything could be offensive to somebody. I personally am offended be the "Scottish Tea Bag" T-shirt. You won't find me in one.


That's not the point of this thread.

Keep it clean and fun.

Let's keep it on topic, shall we?

I get where you're coming from, but my point was that for many, the kilt, especially a tartan kilt, is a symbol of Scotland and Scottish heritage, as well as of a particular clan, family, place, military unit, etc. While this symbolism may not be important to some, it is important to others.

Do I get tired of being asked if I'm a piper? a little. But then I think that at least the person connects piping with kilts. Most likely they've seen a piper play at a funeral, and personally, I consider it a bit of a compliment to be "mistaken" for a musician that adds so much to our ceremonies -- or the pipers who played during wartime.

It's the same with family history. I worked as a genealogy librarian for 2 years, and believe me, I heard a lot of family histories -- but I enjoy talking about my own family's history as well, so it's only fair I suppose.
