Comment Of The Day: Size Ain't Nothing But A (Highly Frustrating) Number

Latest

Today we discussed the helpful lack of consistency in clothing sizes, and you guys applauded the sensitive terms retailers use for certain sizes.

Sometimes, I wear Manatee. In other stores, I wear Elephant. And in a few, I have to special-order Hippo.

Have you ever had to do any custom-orders for Whale? Because every time I need a special occaison outfit, it seems like I have to custom-order Whale, sometime Humpback, other times Gray.

As you’ve probably noticed, we’re changing the Comment of the Day format a bit. From now on we’ll only be highlighting one comment per day, so that user can claim all the bragging rights. We’d still like you to submit nominations to the Comment of the Day tag page. Just send the outstanding comment’s URL and tag your nomination #cotd. (Replying to a comment with “#cotd” does not work.)

Use #trollpatrol to report comments that you feel the editors/mods should be aware of. Try not to respond to/approve/promote trollish comments in the threads — instead, just post the comment on the #trollpatrol page, the same way you’d post a comment on #groupthink or on the #cotd page, and the editors/mods will take care of it.

For meetups, use the meetup tag page!
