Gladrag poll

[flagger]

I can imagine how most will answer, but the results might be interesting.

I assume we are talking formal attire? If not I just voted on something I know NOTHING about! LOL! :D

[slavearlen]

What are we talking about here?

[goouchjac]

What are we talking about here?

I have no clue either......:eek:

[teedee]

Maybe I'm older than some, but I do know what you mean, at least I think I do. I'm assumming you mean formal clothing. I love dressing up for formal nights on cruises. I don't get a chance to do that at home, even my office is casual so I love doing it on a cruise!

The lingo here is way too cool for the kid.

[tbelian]

interesting.

 

and just plain weird

[SailingDoug]

Its not offten that we men dress like this, but it makes the lady of the house feel rich.:cool:

[Ma Bell]

This is really funny. When I read the title I was sure you would get some strange responses. Yes, your gladrags are formal clothing and almost everyone brings his version of them on Celebrity.

In my dictionary & also if you do a search of gladrag on the Net you will see it is menstruation tool.

 

 

But it may have a new meaning.......

As was indicated in the original post.

The only reason I knew what they were referring to was the question that said "I don't wear them but I hire them." Also, I think to "hire" a tux is a British term isn't it? I rent them but I've heard the term hire. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[dmarch@islc.net]

So Flagger what is it? A tux, menstruation tool, dessert topping?

But it may have a new meaning.......

"Gladrags" is an old term. According to Webster:

Slang. dressy clothes, esp. evening clothes.

 

Webster doesn't mention menstruation.

Brenda, you have to use the plural to get the correct definition!:D

It is true that they are also washable rags that women used to use more before the advent of the disposible pad. Some are still used believe it or not, but I'm sure that's not what Flagger had in mind when he started this thread. That's one of the reasons I was laughing when I read this title.

[tbelian]

but I'm sure that's not what Flagger had in mind when he started this thread.

 

Oh, I wouldn't say that ... ya never know.

As written by Mike d'Abo

 

And what becomes of you my love,

When they have finally stripped you of,

The handbags and the gladrags,

That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy.

[Ma Bell]

...and sung by Rod Stewart as well as others.

[cruisinjudy]

Then there was the song "Ragdoll" That said something like,

I'd turn your sad rags into glad rags if I could." I don't know who the singer was, and couldn't find it on a search.

[cruisintwinsmom]

I, for one am glad to see a fun thread come around!:D
