Idiot in a skirt!

[davedove]

I just say, "Boys wear pants. Men wear kilts." On occasion I've even said to women who have said it's a skirt, "Yes...and it's prettier than yours."

That tends to get a laugh....usually if they keep insisting it's a skirt it's because they are 1) drunk or 2) think they'll just get under your skin by calling it a skirt all the time. Once you show that you don't care, they tend to stop.

When a women asks, you could always turn your back to them and ask if it makes your butt look fat.

I just say The last guy that called it a skirt got Kilt. It shuts some up, and others dont deserve an answer.

Or just say that their skirt makes their butt look fat and mine look fabulous...

I've only had that hollerd at me once, but I had a good response I got from Kilt Day.com.

"Hey! I like your skirt"

"Thanks! All the ladies do!"

Guys, I am on your side BUT, it is a skirt. The proof is in any Thesaurus. Why argue with a stupid drunk? He looks like a fool to whoever hears what he has to say and therefore we look better by simply ignoring the dummy. Now, that being said, if the lout continues to try and start trouble then we can end it. If some drunk decides that he has made a fool of himself because he can't make you do something in response to his loud mouth and then tries to cause some trouble and pushes it THEN I get angry and teach the stupid fool that to say skirt is very dangerous because it makes your lib swell up really bad. I wait until the idiot attempts to touch me and then he can't say that I started anything physical. We all have a right to defend ourselves and still press charges against the trouble making drunk.

If I had worn kilts back in my younger and wilder day's I'd still be locked up.

Please, can we not go here again? Everyone has their own opinions on the semantics, and nobody has ever been swayed to change their mind by the past posts, so let' leave it alone. If anybody is new here, search the forums. And KiltedKnight, this is not a shot at you, just a request to not re-hash this particular topic.

Why argue with a stupid drunk?...

I agree, and as Streetcar said, this happens a lot where alcohol is a factor, so remember that now, so you have a response ready that does not add fuel to the fire. Of course, for any of you gentleman that enjoy the weekly brawl, feel free to respond with "I knew you were gay, now I have a treat under here for you!".

Let me know how it works out for you!

I agree

I had a stressful day and was very edgy...not in a forgiving mood

I'm very sorry this happened.

In my early 20s I worked weekends as a bouncer ( very succesfully)in several redneck bars.I'm 5'8 and at the time weighed 130. "nuff said.
Back to topic.

Since I'm a full time kilt wearer...I also go to the pub kilted (kilt needs fresh air the next day ).

Hardly any problems...the usual...nice remarks, smiles and sometimes:
"Oh!...he's wearing a skirt!"...nothing special.

Last friday...a drunken "suit" pushed me to the limits (I'm really a non violent person)...

"Hey! Scottish boy! , hey! faggit!"



He asked for it...and he got it...

I'm not proud of it, I hate violence...it just happened.
The bartenders came in between when I was sitting on top of the guy demanding a full apology.

He was dragged out... (I'm a regular )

I guess the kilt won

Robin, I think this could have brought many a kilt wearer to the breaking point. It makes me angry just reading it. I don't know how I would have reacted - since my physical disability would not let me engage in a fight. I might have wacked the guy with my cane. Anyhow, I haven't faced this type of situation yet. It's bound to happen sooner or later - I'll just have to go with my gut instinct when it does. Perhaps the bartender would have thrown this man out without the fight, if he kept taunting you, but I can surely understand your anger, especially when you are there for a pleasant evening with your wife.
