Tory Burch please. I know it's peaked but I still buy the shoes.

Please tell me you are either

1) the cranky pants poster, or

2) the poster who wrote this on the Post Your DC's Names thread:

You are a Kennedy. You know your way around a rosary and a good gin gimlet. You are comfortable using the argot of sailing and dressage in conversation without sounding pretentious (because it is natural for you). You know what "argot" means and how to pronounce it, even if sometimes you slur it a bit due to affinity for aforementioned gimlets. You and your always-washed children smell faintly of expensive lotion. You often wear linen, because you're not the one to wash and iron your clothes. I may have gone to college with you. I probably even liked you and you me, because you are well-mannered but not stuffy (which I find refreshing) and I am the second generation of a redneck family to go to a fancy undergraduate institution (which you find curious).

If yes, it will make my (really horrible, so far) night.

(The Kennedy post is my all-time single favorite paragraph on DCUM in the last 14+ years.


Hi,
Gorsuch story PP here. I’m sorry you’re having a bad night and I am of no help, because I’m not the cranky pants poster or the Kennedy poster. But now I’m intrigued! What’s the cranky pants story? I’ve been here 8 years and it doesn’t ring a bell.

P.S. I don’t ski. I hate skiing.


And what is the Kennedy post?


The #2 quote above.


Trying to find the full thread - what was the forum for the Your DC Names? Was it off-topic or another one? Google wasn’t any help and searching in DCUM brings up too many hits

Btw, blessings to those who posted about cranky pants (and the link to the thread) and the Kennedy quote. I would never have found them on my own but think I’ll start visiting the off-topic forum now

Most of your clothes carry this label, but you have never stepped foot inside a store. Your wife buys all your clothes at Jos A. Banks (and hers at Talbots). Lovely sensible Sharon. Everything's sort of baggy and a little rumply like you like it, makes it easy to take a nap on the VRE from your 4 bd SFH in Burke.

You would never admit to caring for clothes, not even on your semiannual polygraph, but deep down you love your khaki trench coat because it makes you feel like James Bond.


Ha! My DH has about 15 suits from Jos. A Banks, all is which I bought for him online during their semiannual two-for-one sale. He is a partner at an international law firm and he told me that one of the German partners was giving him crap about his baggy suits at the all partner retreat last year. Perfect!


Guys, it’s Jos. A. Bank, not Banks. Get it right.

You went to art school and after years of living in NYC, moved to Hyattsville because you have a young DC and wanted a slower pace and more space. You’re a freelance graphic designer with a partner who builds custom furniture out of reclaimed wood. DC goes to the local public schools because you believe in the public school system, and want your kid to grow up in a diverse environment with kids from varied socioeconomic backgrounds and cultures, but virtual school was a sh*t show (thanks PGCPS) so you pulled DC out to homeschool.

You still have connections to NYC, including many clients, which keeps you going despite your now suburban lifestyle.


Omg this is me. Not Hyattsville and not graphic design but close enough and everything else is correct down to the custom furniture building DH.

Same as Uniqlo, but better traveled and with “artsy” glasses.


Also, maybe richer.
