My at home (or around home) sisters occasionally would plan a trip to visit another sister who lived away. On one such trip of (which I unfortunately was not a party to) Mary, Moey, Patty, and Peggy were going to visit Joanne in New Hampshire.
Mary, my oldest sister asked Moey what she was bringing in the large bag. Moey replied that she was bringing some dickies for Joanne. Mary excitedly responded, "I just love dickies. I have them in so many different colors; blue, pink green..." Then Mary added," I love to wear them when I go running!"
The other sisters at first attributed Mary's comments to their difference in age and fashion taste but that last comment seemed too bizarre. " You wear them to run in? (while exchanging 'that's unbelievable' glances with each other)
"Oh yeah, they keep my neck so warm and toasty!"
With this statement they determined that Mary was referring to the other 'dickey' which had long been a beloved fashion accessory for Mary.
Fortunately for her the trend never caught on so she pretty much has the market to herself.
