Deserved Mockery



With the cold weather comes cold weather clothes, most of which I like.  However, the mock turtleneck should never have come to pass.  From dictionary.com the word mock means:






1.to attack or treat with ridicule, contempt, or derision.







2.to ridicule by mimicry of action or speech; mimic derisively.







3.to mimic, imitate, or counterfeit.







4.to challenge; defy: His actions mock convention.







5.to deceive, delude, or disappoint.

 

I would contend that mock turtlenecks fall into the definition of ridicule, contempt and derision.  What were the designers thinking?!  I feel like the only other thing I have to say is dickies?

  1. This post made me laugh out loud, then smile for the next five minutes. It's such a Brook post... and such a reminder of the painful days of dickie wearing. Ugh!
