Anyone who calls it a skirt is an idiot who doesn't deserve recognition. Ladies who say that are usually wearing pants, so the answer, "If I wanted to dress like a woman I'd be wearing pants like you", works. I usually don't suffer fools gladly, but then again I'm also careful not to be known as the smarta** in the kilt. Witty replies are useful, but in the right place and at the right time. I have said on a few occasions, "Oh, you're mistaken........if I wanted to dress like a woman I'd be wearing high heels and nylons". Fortunately, the compliments far outnumber the rude remarks.
