I was told it was so they would not scare the sheep away with the sound of zippers but then I could argue that was why Greek men wore Togas. The Greeks were the ones classically who were glorifying certain acts that raise many a discriminating eyebrow these days. Who else came up with half man half animals and gods who pretended to be animals to seduce women? It sure in the heck was not the Scots! I am sure it would be Greece where a Satyr would walk up to all the men of a village asking, "Excuse me mi-i-i-ster, are you-u-u-u my da-a-a-dy?"


So what is the history of the kilt and why are Scotsmen so proud to wear them?


Someone please clear up this mystery! History needs to be corrected here. I have a tiny bit of Scotish blood in me and I sure don't see beauty in a woolen behind! I am sure many full blood Scots feel the same way!

Now leave out the wearing of the floppy boots! That is another myth to dispel later!

THANK YOU!

Why do Scotsman wear kilts?

Because the lasses enjoy the view.

When asked on live TV what was
under his kilt, Sean Connery said,
just air and my wife's lipstick.

Is that why they call it the "nut cracker"?

He said that on live tv! LOLOLOL! Thanks for sharing, needed a laugh!

Because being a Scottsman is about being free! And what needs to be free more than your junk?

I just heard it was so when they drink beer they don't have to worry about fishing their meat out of their pants to drain it!

Another person guessed it was becasue they liked the ventilation down there!

Its so we never get caught with our pants down.

GOOD ANSWER!

We wear what we want, when we want.

this reminds me of a song I heard about a girl being curious about what was under a drunk scottsman's kilt & tied a blue ribbon around his "member"! What the heck is the name of it-> now I will be digging thru cds until I find it-LOL!

I dont know the reason that they wear skirts (I am just assuming they have a "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy)...

The reason they wear so much wool, (especially the old school highlanders) Wool creates a chemical reaction when it gets wet and produces heat (not kidding...tested it out and it is true.) They would take thier skirts and Ms. Scotland sashes and dip them in water first thing in the morning to raise the clothing temps by 15 degrees. I even keep water pumps at work wrapped in wool army blankets.

All in all. I do know that I have never heard of a High Couttier Scottish fashion designer....

Welllll, on thith enthamble..I thtarted with a shapeless floppy hat with a pom pom on top (it is toooooo cute!), Next, we add a sash over the linen peasant blouse to give definition to the cleavage. A Skirt (it is sooo avant garde' and metrosexual!!!) school girl knee high sock WITH TASSELLS! YAY!!!!! and of course some '80's style floppy crushdown pleather boots (I heard even Krupa had a pair and he is just soooooooooo dreamy!!!) To really make this ensamble POP, absolutely no body grooming of any sort is allowed and showering should only be done before switching back into real clothes.

teehee

I hope this helps in the search for your drunken Scottsman!!!

It is a kilt, not a skirt. The reason that it is called a kilt is because the last person who called it a skirt was kill't.




Krupa, you are getting a Tam o' Shanter mixed up with a Balmoral.

The Balmoral is worn with formal Scottish attire.

However, the Glengarry is more popular.

Whichever one has the cute lil pompom on top ....its just so butch!

I kid! (though it is cute...ahem...manly)

being a student of militaria I respect the Scots as warriors. I still cant help but laugh when I think of a bunch of old school Scots prepping for war....

"C'mon Guyssss! Let's put on our skirts and blouses and sashes and kneesocks with tassles and our Pat Benetar boots and go kick this English armies aces!

...WAIT A MINUTE! HAMISH!!!!! Where is your pompom?!?!?!?!?! Damnit guyths! Someone got an extra pompom for Hamish?"

Krupa, you just redeemed yourself.

If I recall correctly, the original inhabitants of Alba (a.k.a. Caledonia, a.k.a. Scotland) painted themselves blue amd wore nothing when going into battle.

Wars should be studied so they dont need to be repeated. Believe me, I have pretty fair knowledge of history and especially, military tactics and gear.

But, you gotta admit....that would be pretty damned funny!

I know why..... they like showing off their sexy legs!!!! Now dodo legs are NOT cool. (shaking head) No No.
