I guessed “spats.” I was wrong on both chronology and etymology. ---

Bobby socks briefly entered my mind, but I mistakenly thought they were mostly a '50s fad. My guess was _snood_, which did have a tremendous increase in popularity in the '40s. But the etymology was way off. A greater knowledge of Old English would have helped. ---

In an odd coincidence, I happened to catch a rerun of _Classic Concentration_ yesterday, and one of the puzzles was “bobby socks”. ---

> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > And today I learn that culottes were worn by the first 5 U.S. presidents. John Quincy Adams broke the trend by being the first to wear long trousers. ‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. _Stairway to Heaven_ The “culottes” worn by **all** upper class men throughout the 18th Century (and before) were **tight** knee-length britches. Lower class men wore full length trousers. That is a completely different garment than the “culottes” meaning **loose** split skirts, as worn by women starting in the 1960s. Some forward-thinking women began wearing them in the 1930s. ---

Culottes were worn by the French ruling class until the Revolution, when wearing long pants was a sign of solidarity with the people. Hence “Sans-culottes”. ---

I missed that episode, but if the clue was “40s fashion” my guess would’ve been zoot suit. Do I win? ---

Ok, help me out here. Who does Anji Nyquist, the winner of July 5, remind me of? There’s some actress that she looks like. All the online stories about her mock her Valley Girl accent, even though she’s from Minnesota. ---

For some reason she reminded me of April Bowlby who played Kandi on Two and a Half Men. Probably the valley girl talk and the way she pinched her lips and face. ---

Not sure if the issue is considered closed but she reminds me of Tiya Sircar, who played Vicky the demon on _The Good Place_.

The other day, I was a little freaked out when Kate Campolieta was playing her second game; her hands were behind her, so until she relaxed during the contestant interview segment, I was convinced she had no arms. ---
