jcw_da_dmg can never remember the word "jerkin". He knows it's not a doublet, but can never remember what the exact word is

Yesterday at rehearsal, we were talking abut what to wear to the Durty Nellie's gig.

"I'll probably wear my gerbil"

*giggle* I have the perfect way to remember the difference between a doublet and a jerkin. "Only a jerk wears a skirt" SO not true but a terrific mnemonic!

It wouldn't have helped ME, Dear. I keep "gherkin", "jerkin" and "gerbil" in the same mental file folder for some reason; and when I'm tired, I'm not very careful where I "look".

*giggle* Great....now I'm picturing you in both a gerbil costume or all decked out as a pickle. But hey, look on the bright side, the green would still work for Irish!

Well, both my jerkins are green.
