i lol'd.

also in the grand scheme of things, while i dont tend to dig guys in skirts; i'd be more into one who admitted he was, in fact, wearing a skirt than the guy who was lying to himself about it for an extra 15$ over what the skirt version would cost.

Well, you know...I dunno if you remember me ever posting photos of this was back in the days of Deadjournal, but when I was about 17 I bought a full-length PVC skirt off the clearance racks of HT in what I thought was my size (2x) only to get it home and it was insanely huge on me. Turns out it was in men's sizing, so it was technically a man-skirt...and I was delighted at the notion! I'm quite sure the term "one-legged pant" was not on the tag then (I totally would've noticed). I don't see WHY the hell there's this sudden need for idiotic word play.
