Howdy!  
I’m trying to find a Will and Grace episode where Will is trying to explain the concept of “wrong” to Jack and Karen.  
He tried many different ways of describing it, but J&K are clueless,  
until he said “It’s like brown purse with blue shoes” which causes them to recoil.  
It might have been a blue purse and brown shoes.  
My Google-fu has failed me. Any suggestions?

I’ve never understood these arcane notions of sumptuary ritual.
