Many moons ago, traditionally men dressed themselves and ladies had a maid dress them.  Buttons on the left side of the dress/shirt are easier to do up from in front.... apparently....

T-shirts sound cool........\n\n\n1. White ones with, "Damn, I'm good!" for the good side\n\n2. Black ones with, "The devil made me do it" for the evil side\n\n\nOr some such nonsense ; )

Excellent question, my American namesake! Perhaps, 'corruptate' or 'malefactate' wuld be better titles, on both sides of the Atlantic.\nWith regard to the dictionary quote above, I don't recall anyone in 1605/15 wearing white togas, and yes it does come from the Roman Consulars wishing election to the Senate, though the wearing of white was supposed to symbolise the cleanliness of their credentials, something that probably explains the dark suits worn by todays politicians!

How about tight rolled jeans, bleached jeans, hugely over-sized shirts on girls, Milli Vanilli, New Kids on the Block.  Ah, I loved the 80's!  The sad thing is some of the old "fad's" are starting to come back so watch out...they said bell-bottoms would never come back and they did.

no, no, no, no, no.....  actually (and forgive me for not knowing the specifics here) the term "square" was derived quite a while ago in the times of greasers and such...  back when kids would place the "square"ish box against their short sleeves and fold the sleeve up to hold them in place... it's been around for a long time and its not something that todays adolescents made up...  back when i was in high school (10 years ago) the word 'groovy' was in and obviously this was from the era of the hippies...  these days, nothing is original... hell, they're even revamping 80's cartoons to entertain todays youth... the lack of originality is disappointing... but alas, so is the lack of healthy lungs... bleh
