So I wondering about the difference in tartan and plaid so I googled it, and according to wikipedia (my personal authority on anything true) the tartan is the pattern and the plaid is actually the fabric. The two are used interchangeably here in North America but plaid comes from the word plaide. The plaide is the garment that preceded the kilt. Who the fuck cares? Not even me at this point. 

The shit above is hideous, I bet my ex-stepmom owns two (maybe one with the nipples cut out, gross bitch).
