Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Can we have another fashion/clothing thread? Pretty please?
Barmymoo:
When people say Chucks, do they just mean any canvas shoe that looks a little like the Converse brand?
nekowafer:
It's supposed to mean just the Converse Chuck Taylors, but some people mean it in a more generic sense.
Barmymoo:
What's a Ked?
bainidhe_dub:
It's a similar low-top canvas shoe, but without the rubber toe cap. Just Google Keds.
Barmymoo:
So it's not used as a sort of catch-all descriptor of the style of shoe? Or does that vary from region to region? I've heard people say that the word Kleenex is used to describe any tissue, for instance. The only example of that I can find in British English is the way that hoover has become a synonym for vacuum cleaner.
