has anyone in all honesty ever used the word "slacks"?

[suzywong]

and if not, then WHY do authors insist on using it?

yes

used to wear them when i was little they had those stirrups inder your feet

Do they? My Nan used to say it.

I once referred to an ex as wearing them - they really were slacks.

It's like panties. Nobody in real life wears panties. Do they?

so what, you used to cry: "Mother, mother today I shall choose my own outfit, fetch me my slacks?"

OK I'll rephrase that, has anyone used them in adult hood to describe a garment one would actually consider wearing oneself?

ugh

what about 'blouse'? Just thought that I never say that, only shirt (unisex)

Yes, I thought that about blouse too.

Also discreet makeup. As opposed to er what?

whorish paint
to answer the deliciously small-footed MI

Just remembered my Nan also used to have costumes, to my disappointment she never entered a room dressed as Yogi bear or anything, they were kind of matching skit and jacket type things.

I use 'action slacks' regulary.

They refer to the shapeless, baggy, tracky bottoms I wear when mooching around the house. They rarely see any action

profyaffle for quote of the week!

what about slip?

slut slip as in the one Elizabeth Taylor wore for almost the duration of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.

Does anyone know where I could get one, btw, with properly sized cups?

I'd love one, or two, it gets very hot here and I could see myself swanning around the lounge in them
