As I recall, the German Army called the Scots troops in kilts 'The Ladies From Hell.'

There was an article about a year ago on the Whacky News about a high school kid of Scots descent who decided to go to his prom in a kilt instead of a tux. His principal took one look at him arriving and banned him from the dance. Caused all kinds of of uproar. I don't remember if he was wearing a sgian dubh.
