When I set about making a post of men in kilts, I quickly learned that the difficulty would come in paring down the oversupply of available paugh images. I was not looking for a needle in a haystack, but for the best needles in a large stack of adequate ones.
The issue is that the images of kilts have many common elements, all of which are paugh.
For example, kilts are often worn with a strikingly fanny-pack-like accessory.
Men in kilts adopt a common pose, possibly for two reasons:
1. The shape of the "skirt" makes them stand with their legs unnaturally far apart.

The socks are always pulled all the way up, with two narrow strips of white hairy legs timidly peaking through.
Whether in a traditional Scottish scene, in the home, or at a hotel swimming pool, the context of a man in a kilt always - yes, always - adds to the paugh effect.

"Honey, let me take a picture of you before you go." Check.
This is but a sampling of the bottomless treasure trove of paugh pictures of men in kilts. Yes, it's too easy. But it had to be done.

Of course they are an easy source of paugh, but you have more than redeemed yourself with your incisive and discriminating observations on the nature of kilt paugh and paugh at large.
This post should be studied in every paughspotting class in the country as a prime example of expaughsitory writing.
well done, brett.
