    Taking the number of members into consideration amazingly few have given an answer. A reason could be that the choices don’t correspond very well to their situation, like it has already been said by other members.

    The difference between “every dad-gun day” and “a couple of times per week” is too big, simply.

    The first one indicates – to me at least – "24/7" = hardly any pants at all. The second one, however, what it says = kilted 2 (perhaps 3) days a week.

    I’ll wear a kilt almost every day, say six of seven days a week, but not necessarily the entire day. Probably the kilt on these days counts for 60%. For pants, then, remain 40% 6 days and 100% one day a week.

    In my case, following the "24/7" system, we have what should be called "14/6" = approx. 50/50 to kilts and pants.

    I answered “a couple of times per week”, which however indicates only "24/2" [100/ (2/7)] = approx. 30% kilt.

    A few times a month for me, usually a friday or saturday when my wife and I head out to the local watering hole or out to dinner, but plenty of other times too. While not kilted everyday, like the OP I too am known as a kilt wearer, and often get asked where the kilt is if I don't have it on.

    Yes a good point there: quite a gap between two days a week and seven days a week. There might be many people for whom "around half the time" is a better fit (3-4 days a week). I'm often in that category myself.

    There is no option that I can vote for as it's more than "a couple of times a week" but less than "Every dad-gum day!!!!!!" (whatever dad-gum is?).

    I therefore abstain.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    Here they are, "minced oaths" or euphemisms. Quite a list, with their translations! (Note that it's a UK site.)

    couple of times per week:
    Normally, every other weekend, the wife and I will take time to go on an outing with the kids because of her schedule (she's a CNA for a nursing home, 2nd shift). I wear my kilt at every oppurtunity when not at my place of work. Often times I get a treat and need to run small errands through the week, giving me more time kilted-up.

    I acquired my first traditional kilt (Dress MacDonald of Clan Ranald) and modern kilt about the same time last year. Ostensibly the traditional kilt was for my stepsons wedding and so far I've worn it only on 'Dress up' occasions like the wedding, new year etc. The Modern kilt I've worn at the Chicago Worldcon (Science fiction fan gathering) and a few other SF Cons.

    So bottom line, more than a few times a year, but not as often as monthly, but I do have plans this summer to get out more often!
