Grant's alleged kilt lift

[ChattanCat]

Oh Grant, it must be cold up north as your brain is frozen on the concept that standing on your head in a kilt = KILT CHECK!

[SteveB]

:butt: and this does not count as kilt check either!

Sorry, Grant, a proper "kilt check" is usually performed by a human of the opposite gender.

Are we perchance being too hard on him? I just re-read his original post. He said "kilt lift". Just the new guy's ignorance here, but is a "kilt lift" the same thing as a "kilt check"? If it is, he's still on shaky ground, imho. If they are indeed different phenomena, he could be (grudgingly) technically correct.

Now you're speaking the lingo! And to those who scoff at the difference between "lift" and "check", have another look at his avatar.

Kilt on!

"Usually," perhaps, but that is surely irrelevant; I have been kilt checked in a gay bar, by a man; that counts ... unlike the wind ....

Opposite gender? Uh-oh--then some of mine don't count now!

GDub, as you know, Marilyn stood on that grate, deliberately, with the collusion of others. Intention counts. Still, "the Marilyn" is a skirt lift, and not exactly a skirt check. They knew what was under there.

"The Grant," as it shall henceforth be known, involves no deliberation, no intention, no checking. Is it a "kilt lift"? Well, maybe.

But this is the classic "Marilyn"-equivalent "kilt lift":

And clearly someone knew what was going to happen when walking over this grate, if only because it had already happened to the guy in front. Tha would make it an official kilt lift. It would only count as kilt check if the parade organisers had planned it this way.

I would argue that a kilt "lift" (heretofore known as a "Grant") is a lift regardless of whether it was planned or not. A "check" has intentionality and requires someone to do the verifying. In Marilyn's case, she passed the lift with flying colors, but, in kilt vernacular, she failed the check.

I would like to point out that if Grant would like to know when to expect the next kilt lift, the photo referenced here was taken here in Cincinnati in front of my main office building. Give me a call, and we can arrange for as many events as he likes.

Regards,
Rex.

Fellow kilties:

It appears that Rex is willing to host our next convention. Set the time and date and let us parade - and let lift - our varied kilts.

GDub: I maintain that kilt lift requires agency and intention, or at least an audience. If a kilt lifts and no one sees it, it does not count. Especially here. This forum even demands pictures.
