Synonyms for hostility: antagonism, unfriendliness, resentment, aggression

Synonyms for disdain: scorn, contempt, derision, condescension

I'm not sure I see much difference. The attitude that is conveyed would seem to be the same.

There seems to be a world of difference between the two, to my mind. Hostility is "active", whilst disdain is "passive".

I'm with Jock, they are similar but not the same.

Hostility has the connotation of active negativity toward something, usually in the form of an attack, verbal or otherwise.

Disdain is more of a negative attitude toward something, mostly in an expressed or implied opinion.

Hostility is not OK on the forum, but politely expressed disdain usually is.

If you have to look like the models count me out...I actually have eaten at McDonalds in my lifetime. Come to think of it they may be skirts because only women should be that small.

Not my cup of tea certainly.

Now, this outfit seems to capture the modern kilt well, however, I do not like the other "kilts" with the pleats at the front.

It's replies like those I've read here that makes me feel hugely disparate from the traditional kilt community.

Fashion comes from catwalks. Get used to it.

It looks ridiculous on the catwalk because it's art. Art then trickles down to "real" clothing by way of these same designers.

The philabeg was once a novelty that originated in the mind of a tailor.

I honestly wish you guys would stop being so dismissive of anything "non-traditional" or adventurous.

Men can wear skirts... or skorts, or whatever.

I am aware that this is a forum for kilts and that the question asked begged a response but I am increasingly becoming sick of the hostility I see here.

Why the dismissiveness?

Why do pleats go in the back? Because someone did it once and you poor sheep are stuck following.

Sheep are good for growing wool - I see now that many of them WEAR wool too.

Not to name names but The Scot, you're the epitome of what I'm talking about.
