Yup. It's very cultural, though. Around here people don't know any more about what to make of a kilt than back home, but NO ONE, EVER in a million, zillion years would yell "Nice kilt!" in a sarcastic tone, (or any other tone) for that matter. Nevermind yell, even. No one would say a thing. The most you would ever get would be a brave soul walking up to you and asking questions about your attire.

The one (and only) time I ever got anything resembling a negative comment, was back home in Edmonton, walking across a parking lot at night while drunk bar patrons were leaving and some boor, from the safety of his car full of friends felt the need to roll down the window and yell, "Nice skirt, fag!" I just chuckled to myself and didn't even break stride or turn my head. I'm glad I helped that young man get that off his chest. Must've been quite a burden holding that in.
