Rightly so too if that is the case

I don't want to just be awarded it with a shitty little asterisk next to our name.

I'm past that. I'd prefer that than not to be awarded it at all. I couldn't give a flying fuck what other fans say about it.

Liverpool, league champions*

*Were so fucking ace that even when the league was stopped with 9 games to go due to pandemic, they had amassed such a record breaking lead, that it was blindingly obvious that they were champions.

Yeah, that really tears me up inside.

If they do hand us the title I'm going to have to buy a baseball bat to help educate anyone who tells me that's in any way unjust.

I'm surprised no one is taking advantage of this new market for house coats.

Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to get one for years.

I haven't had a house coat since I was about 14. Although I called it a dressing gown then.

 

[ILD]

Yep. Definitely called a dressing gown. I still own one.

 

[SummerOnions]

It's a gaff wrap

 

[Woland]

I've had this internet fight before and I lost. They were always called house coats in ours but they're for women. Dressing gown is right but I get why I was wrong. Sounds like it should be the other way round

I believe my avatar highlights my expertise on the subject 😀

Dressing gown.

 

[Frogfish]

The best ones are from good hotels ... some are awesome lounging garments. Unfortunately you can't pinch them any more as they will just add them to your credit card bill after you've checked out. Usually cost US$20-30 if you want to buy one though. Which is still reasonable.

 

[FoxForceFive]

House coat in Liverpool tends to be used by people around Walton & Everton predominantly.

 

[Mamma Mia]

I'd never heard the term before SCM.

Owning a dressing gown never had much appeal to me, but I went out and got a house coat the very next day.

How did you lose? They're fucking gendered now?

Are we saying that there is no such thing as a "dressing gown" for women, and that two ostensibly identical items are called different things depending on the gender of the individual wearing them?

They are all dressing gowns, but "house coat" is a far more boss and suave way of describing them.

Unless.....there is an actual, non-gender specific difference between a house coat and a dressing gown? Like, more pockets or the absence of a belt or something.

Now I'm interested.

I'm still convinced it's just a cooler description.

Like when Snoop Dogg reinvigorated the "slipper" by calling it a "house shoe", which is what I call them now, and why I want a house coat.

Maybe there's some weird posh thing that carries over, and there's a real house coat/ smoking jacket type thing that isn't actually a dressing gown, because that's towelling and for after a bath and just before bedtime.

 

[MomoWASright]

I just wear a hoody and pants (trousers variety and not boxies) round the house. Fuck dressing gowns/house coats/whatever.

That's exactly it. Toweling is used for the post-shower 'bath-robes' and it can be toweling, acrylic or silk for 'house-coats'. Best to have one of both to be on the safe side. One toweling and one silk.

 

[manwithnoname]

Another mystery solved

House coats are made of silk and are for gays and women*

*I still want one

Are there any photos kicking about of 6cm illuminaries sporting such garments?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Hahahaha. I'd forgotten about that. Good memory.
