Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

At present most of my dictionaries, amongst others the Larousse, are stored due to renovations. I did follow the hard print dictionary at hand, but I was hesitant on the grenouille, as at my village in France here is a lac des grenouilles and those are toads...
To make things even more interesting:
to have a frog in once throat translates into "avoir un chat dans la gorge" thus the French have a cat in their throats...
But now the question rises whether cats, dogs, frogs and toads wear MUG's?
In short, it's a man learning the sorts of things that girls get taught by their mothers when they were very young. Yes, I used the past tense there -- for a reason: skirts (and dresses) are largely obsolete. I've seen young women fighting with their skirts as surely as I did when I started and was trying desperately to learn the ways of the things as I didn't have a lifetime of experience -- and clearly they didn't either.

Imagine this scenario....
20-30 years from now skirts come back into fashion for women. But the female demographic with good skirt skills is old/dying off. So young women turn to... ..older males to tutor them in Skirtmanship.
"I have been very interested and experimenting with skirts for years. I have self trained in the art of wearing short skirts. It really totally different to pants".
Demonstrating his skirting skills.....
""I confided in a woman friend, who watched me as I moved around the house, sat down and picked up things from the floor etc. Her comment was that I had done better than most women do in skirts."
