In UK English, it’s a “blouse.”

A little closer to home - Marines call their uniform jackets "blouses."
And many years ago, oddly enough, they used to call their ties "field scarfs."

There are many very dark Italians and Italians with what look like AA features. Blame historical Rome for that.

I sported a couple of those loud polyester shirts in the 70s. Some slacks, too.

Just had to be careful walking near an open flame.

Wait. What?

Trump foes two and a half hours of stupid questions but he’s the tyrant

I had a similar shirt as a kid in the 70s. Now I’ll have to go to Dad’s house to look for pictures to destroy.

Yes, that’s what my grandmother used to say about some relatives but the truth came out many years later that they were not Italian but African-American.

You are right regarding the darker skin tone and I know it varies by region.

Looks like a typical 70s, disco-era shirt - common at the time, but embarrassing to remember. In those days I had a similar shirt - a little more tame than that one - but floral/paisley, with a wide collar, something that I would not have considered wearing in the last 30 - make that 40 - years. I also had a powder-blue, brushed-denim suit.

That isn't Rome you are looking at there.

We all did in the early 70’s

I've been doing "codeword" puzzles (similar to crosswords) from a series of books printed by the London Times. Every few puzzles I'll encounter a word I've never heard of, and they aren't even in my Merriam-Webster (American English) dictionary. One such word was "faff," which I looked up on the Internet, and which means "to waste time."

Yes, I can’t stand the Cuomos, but in fairness, that’s how guys dressed back then. He shouldn’t get so bent out of shape over it, but then again, he’s a jerk Cuomo.

LOL, that's what most FReepers are doing lately, faffing.
I'll have to remember that - thanks.

They’re humanizing him, he’s going to run for prez.

[Harpotoo]

I had those shirts, the Italian bell bottom slacks and platform boots to boot. Yes those were my disco outfits. Normally I dressed like a hippy but when I wanted to get ..... Go where the girls are and Dance because THEY LOVE to dance:-)

Did Fredo have a mandolin strumming “Speak Softly Love” while showing the photo?

How does Fredo think this daily bs is helping their cause?

[Ann Archy]

Yes..Matilda is alive.
