what i overheard when i got on the bus today:

lady: no, it's not a skirt, it's a dress.

daughter: [unintelligible]

lady: see, a dress is for your whole body. a skirt is just from here.

daughter: [unintelligible]

lady: no, if they were the same thing, they'd use the same word for both.

why yes, since you ask, i was wearing a dress.
