Fortunately, they're talking about kilts, not skirts. Reminds me of an interview with Liam Neeson when Rob Roy was in theaters; the interviewer kept saying "skirt" instead of kilt, and Neeson kept correcting him. Finally, the interviewer asked what the difference was between a skirt and a kilt, and Neeson replied, "never having worn a skirt, I could not tell you."
It also reminds me of an episode of the TV series Sliders wherein they slid into an alternate universe where the cops wore skirts. When they first arrive, John Rhys-Davies says that they're kilts, probably in honor of the Scots, a "repressive people." Turns out that J. Edgar Hoover's cross-dressing was well known in that universe, and the cops wore skirts in his honor...
Seriously ... All joking aside ...
