I’d considered a side-pitting remark against the insults occasioned upon the female buttock by the fashion industry in the last 15 years in my OP, but deleted it since that deserves its own thread, nay forum.

Contrition for **pizzabrats** pit-back: I’m unable to _parse,_ please accept _pidgin:_ Me no like clothes belong 1970’s, Dem all buggered up. Fashion-buyer fellah think shopper-fellah head all knock-knock, play big ha-ha. But me give zipper-belong-sweater big stink-eye, say to fashion-buyer fella “bother you?”
