    Tribal wear is good idea. I usually think pants and shirt and that’s harder to coordinate.

    It’s easy enough to restrict the quality level of the item allowed there. Unfortunately, iirc, tribal wear is one of the higher-value goods (per unit of material) to craft and you can’t directly set a preference on the type of material or overall value when designating a storage space.

    The main thing is that you (outside of mods, obviously) can’t force a prisoner to put it on. I’ve had people spend days being obstinately naked rather than putting on the clothing I had so generationally provided.

















  • I believe so. According to Green’s Dictionary of Slang, it usually referred to an obese person (or group thereof), but being used to mean “beefy” doesn’t seem too far removed.

    beef trust (n.) [ironic use of SE beef trust, a conglomerate of beef producers/processors; orig. late 19C carnival use, created by showman W.B. ‘Billy’ Watson (born Isaac Levy; 1852–1945), who thus named his sideshow of grotesquely overweight women, the term was later adopted in his burlesque to describe a chorus-line of notably large girls; Watson also created the chicken trust, composed thin and reportedly beautiful women]

    1. (Aus./US) an obese person, a group of obese people [with examples dated 1914-2002]

    His optometrist kept trying to sell him on glasses, but all he needed was to remember to raise his desk.

    Also, he’d been wondering for months where that doohickey on the back left corner of the desk had been. “Why did I put it on the under shelf? Oh, right. That was the evening I had that bad trip and spent the evening hiding under my desk.”
