My car dealership just called, and the plastic strip thing on my car wasn't ripped, it was just detached, so they fixed it without any charge. Go them!

ita, no, the way she described them it's a square of cloth laid over a man's head ... seemingly to absorb sweat after some kind of strenuous exercise but (according to her) being worn by people who never break a sweat. And her complaint was that it was not necessary, not appropriate, and always seemed to need washing. Nothing as classy as a do rag (which I've see a fair number of and know they have another purpose).

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Pants. Shirts.
I beseech Thee, O Gawds Of Your Choice, let them not begin on footwear. Else, we will be forever here.
Forefend, also, cutlery.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
The Washington Post fashion writer - known for her ability to plumb the depths of the shallowest subject - recently had a little rant against flip-flops (mostly on women). Also ... sweat rags? guys wearing pieces of gray-ish cloth on their heads?
ah, Robin Givhan.
Do rags?
no, not do-rags, the phenomenon of wearing a small towel on the head after a workout, which became a fashion statement. Givhan made a comment when describing a guy "wearing a sweat rag on his head, although clearly his last workout was supersizing his extra value meal"

Very cool, Lee.

Gawds of all pantheons forgive us! They have started now on rags, and we are without hope!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now, are you wearing the rag, or is it only placed on top of your head? Like, a hankie? I am *so* glad I've never seen these, because I think I'd have to laugh.
Do rags do not serve sufficient a purpose to be worn in public.

As I said - her complaint was that they were totally unnecessary and, usually, in need of a wash. Worn in public, in inappropriate situations. And, yes, laid over the top of the head.
And - to drive Gus completely batty - something The Manolo likes. Silly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm thinking they do if you're a cinderwench.
Oh Gus, I don't think I'll be buying a car this year, but I'll keep yours in mind if I change my mind...
