Hey Hutch -
GREAT website.
Only Scotsmen don't wear codpieces under their kilts.

It was the Brits who wore a sort of bloomers that had the "codpiece." Why am I the one to bring this up?? Too much trivia in my education?

This from the aforementioned website:

RESPONSES TO "THE QUESTION"

If you wear a kilt in public often enough, you will inevitably be asked "the question."
This can come in various forms, most often something like, "What is worn under the kilt?" "What's under your kilt?" or maybe, "What do you have (on) under your kilt?" Generally, this question is asked by younger girls, but I've been asked by older women and men too. I must admit, questions like these from men are pretty rare, but they do occur. It is best if your response is appropriate for your situation and audience, but here are a few lists of various responses that have been suggested and/or used in the past. Below that, I have included a list of responses to other questions you may get while out-and-about in a kilt..

Enjoy!

Top 15 favorite responses to women who ask "the question":

15) A lady doesn't ask and a gentleman doesn't tell!
14) If you want to get down on your knees, I'll show you!
13) As you can see.. my socks and shoes/boots!
12) The usual.
11) Well, well, well.. you must be the bad girl in your family!
10) I'll bet you didn't know that I wear a kilt.. just to meet women like you.
9) What do you think? Buy me a pint and maybe I'll let you check for yourself!
8) Well, I don't want to brag.. but this may be a turning point in your life!
7) Nothing is worn.. everything is in perfect working order!
6) Only my wife knows.
5) If I tell you, you're gonna want to see for yourself, just like the last dozen girls!
4) Of course it's true! But, if you want to check, you'll have to show me yours first!
3) If your hands aren't too cold, you can reach up under there and check for yourself!
2) How bad do you want to know?
1) Good girls don't ask.. but bad girls find out for themselves!



Top 10 favorite responses to men who ask, "the question":


10) Haggis!!!
9) It's called REGIMENTAL, dude. Google it.
8) Just what God gave me!
7) Usually the ladies ask that question.. what team are you on anyhow?

6) I usually get up and wear whatever I wore the night before.
5) Your wife's/mother's lipstick.
4) If you were man enough to wear a kilt, what would you wear under it?
3) If you try to check for yourself, expect to wake up in the hospital!

2) Same as you, only BIGGER!
1) Freedom!!! (You really should try it for yourself)!
