silvershadow said:I was once at a fancy dress party wearing my normal attire - 3 piece suit and hat and I won the prize for best dressed (fancy dress). So when I went up to take the prize I thanked everyone and confused them by saying "I appreciate the prize but you realize this is how I dress everyday". You could have heard a pin drop as I walked away! :eusa_clap
I guess that's a testament to how casual things are these days. A nice suit can be considered a costume!

hargist said:You might have something there. That would explain the wrinkled look you see in stores lately, like The Gap. Little kids don't like to iron.

aliados said:This week, I heard a woman bellow, "Humphrey Bogart!" as I walked down the street in my green Stetson Whippet. Personally, I do not think that I look at all like Bogey, nor do my hats have any resemblance to those which he commonly wore; our taste in hats clearly differs. So, I passed her by without acknowledgment.
Maybe had she yelled, "William Powell!," "Adolph Menjou!," or even, "Bud Abbott!," I'd've tossed a quarter into her paper cup . . .
hargist said:Still, I think Benny is right in that many people simply lack courtesy and decorum. It's like when I'm called "pimp" whenever I'm dressed nicely. Yes, I realize that it is meant as a compliment, but it's difficult for me to take it that way. To me a pimp is still someone who is an exploiter of women, and in this topsy-turvy pop culture world, the word has somehow transformed from a negative connotation to a positive one.
ScionPI2005 said:I can think of another example in which this has happened. It seems that so many young women these days do not mind when their boyfriends call them a "female dog". Some women almost take that as a complement, whereas I'm off to the side with big eyes thinking "he did NOT just say that!"
Jerekson said:Why is it, that if we all like wearing hats, we have to be assosciated with something else? We can't just like hats?
hargist said:I'm simply going to laugh and say, "Heh, you'd never have the guts to wear one."
