Gaiters commonly used in many mechanical devices, cars for example.

Tell me about it. The driveshaft gaiter on my Renault kept going every year!

My dad would say that you deserve it for trusting the French with a car.

 

[darlowolf64]

Better than trusting the Yanks with a car?

 

[BillyDee]

Funny you should mention the French, they're a big part of why British and American English is different...

 

[Alan]

My dad has been a Japanese car guy since Toyota first released the Corolla out here. He might actually disdain GM/Ford/Chrysler more than he dislikes the Frenchies.

Not heard putters before....but then I'm really old

Puttees (strips of cloth wrapped around the lower leg - ankle to knee) date back and were commonly worn by the military up until WW2.

British forces were still using them in the Falklands war, and due to the amount of trench foot casualties the MOD decided high leg boots with a stitched in/sealed tongue were the way forward, lots of troops stole Argentinian boots off prisoners and casualties because they were way superior.

Ah yes, that stirs a memory.....haven't seen it used in the context of hiking gaiters though....I suppose (ex) squaddies would use that term of course.

Kids have received what I assume are Xmas presents in the post from Wolves today. Very nice of them, but I really hope the club aren’t prioritising season ticket holder freebies over member freebies
