Often if a ManInAKilt appears, someone will suggestively ask if is he "a real Scotsman", i.e. is anything worn under the kilt? If he's a "real Scotsman" he might say nothing is worn under the kilt: it's all in very good condition (historically, this is a case of artistic license; since the "nae trews" style of kilt-wearing originated with a single ''British Army'' regiment; we also understand that it is permissible to wear underpants with a kilt at present, since there is [[HMTheQueen a lady]] on the Scottish throne. And [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Scotsman The Other Wiki]] notes that participants in traditional Highland events like the Highland Games or country dance contests are generally required by the rules to wear something under their kilt.) A typical answer to "what are you wearing under it" if the man in question is feeling a little mischievous is, "Good girls don't ask, bad girls find out for themselves" and, if he just wants to be a total wiseass, "Shoes." If the phrasing is the rather forced "Is anything worn under the kilt?", of course, the correct reply is "No, it's all in perfect working order."
