man who is naked under his kilt gives vocabulary lesson

[Jack Daw]

Cellulose?! Isn't that what middle-aged women get on their hips?

[MacLowlife]

I may be viscous as a brick, but I thought it was more thick than slippery. BTW, Tencel is rayon, too. Bamboo can be turned into fibres, but I think that is accomplished similarly to rayon, so bamboo textiles are viscose, too. Some people refer to the original cellulose fabric as "way wrong"...

Alan, as you probably know---but I can help being pedantic---no one makes 16-ounce poly-viscose. The 16 ounce stuff we hear about is supposedly a blend with poly-viscose plus acetate (if not poly+viscose+acetate). I have no experience with it, but I love the Marton Mills PV whether it be 11, 12 or some other number of ounces.


Kilties, take note. Merriam-Webster says:
viscose: \ˈvis-ˌkōs, -ˌkōz\
viscous: \ˈvis-kəs\

I would try this in IPA, but (1) i have trouble with open O versus closed O, and I don't think I have the character set anyway (2) someone would say the posting belonged in the Pub. Anyway the fabric sounds like an "oh", the adjective sounds like an "uh."


Rayon is a trademark (of Dupont IIRC), and that's why the generic term is used instead.

No, you're thinking of cellulite...........like the phones.

I know at least one Canadian kilt maker makes Poly-Viscoe kilt. I don't think he makes Viscous kilts.

Alan,...thanks for the entertaining read,...I think? (scratching head in confusion)

BWHAhaha there's a girl in our office that said "cellulite phone" once and we've never let her forget it! I always use the term when giving out info to our techs....
