Office of Silly Tartan Names

I believe that Purple is the Scotch MacGiftwrap Tape Tartan and the green is the MacInvisible Tape Tartan.

What about Clan MacDuck, Clan MacTruck, Clan MacDavis (you must be over 40 to get that one) or the Hawaiian Tartan, Clan MacAdamia?

Disney really did register the MacDuck tartan... look it up.

Tartan McGeek... to be worn only by those with a pocket protector sporran.

The thread count for McGeek is written in binary, right? Or was it html code... I can never remember...

If I am wearing a Tartan it means that the Tartan means something to me. Even if it is a fashion Tartan. I like it. That is why I wear it. And I am proud of wearing it.
If someone asks me what Tartan it is, I always respond with the correct name. And usually add some information on why I am proud to be wearing it.
My non-Tartan Kilts are different. Clan Destine is a good answer just because the person asking usually has never seen a non-Tartan Kilt and doesn't usually understand that there is such a thing.
Don't suffer a fool, but honestly educate someone who is simply ignorant.

Amen to that. I might also add that if it isn't a true tartan (fabric I picked up on a mill-ends table) I explain that too, and say I just liked the colours. I have often told my students that there is no such thing as a stupid question, unless I have just spent a lot of time just explaining it!

When they follow-up by asking if I'm Scottish, I usually tell people I'm Floridian or ask what race/nationality has to do with me wearing a kilt.

Anybody know an MacXmark?

Don't forget the black-on-black MacAbre tartan of Clan Destine.

MacAbre
Black-on-black??

...Of course! How could I not think of that.

Predominate colors are Red on the Left and Green on the right.

It sounds like boat position lights. I would call it MacBoat Tartan then

OK, an explanation is due to those who don't have sea legs.
When you navigate between buoys, you keep red on the right and green on the left. Oncoming ships will appear to have their red lantern on the right, and green on the left. Etc etc etc. Pleats in the rear and apron on the front.
