Maybe if they’d hidden some malaria pills up there the Darien Project wouldn’t have bankrupted them so badly they had to sign the Act of Union with my lot.
Pretty sure that the kilt was invented by an Englishman so that scots working in his factories would be less likely to get clothing caught in the machinery and maimed. I say this as a kilt-loving descendent of scots.
EDIT: To be clear, I was referring to a Small Kilt, whose intention is attributed to an English mill owner named Rallinson circa 1720. Not the Great Kilt, which to my knowledge is Scottish in origin.
Should have been more precise, I think. I most frequently hear "kilt" referring to the Small Kilt which comes from the 18th century, not the Great Kilt.
I'm having a hard time thinking of garments that would be MORE likely to get caught in machinery than an ~8yd piece of fabric wrapped to include open ends, pleats, flaps and the over the shoulder option. A poncho or cloak is the only thing I can come up with.
A Great Kilt (invented by Scots, as far as am aware) definitely. I should have been more specific. I was referring to the Small Kilt (which is what I most often hear people referring to as a kilt), which comes from the 18th century.
based on genital structure, women can pee a lot easier when wearing a dress, men can pee easier just unzipping the front of their pants….
