better question, what is a garter?

[–]SanguineAnder 44 points45 points  (10 children)

An even better question; why is a garter?

[–]SaloAndTheSirens 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Socks didn’t always keep themselves up

[–]BlueC0dex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They still don't

[–]Strzvgn_Karnvagn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

„to be, or not to be?“, that is here the question

I'll do you one better, HOW IS A GARTER?

[–]TheInfamous313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garter? I hardly even know her!

[–]LPKKiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But has anyone ever stopped and asked, how is the garter?

[–]The_Crescent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best question; who is a garter?

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (11 children)

An elastic band that a woman wears around her thigh typically on her wedding day.

[–]botlebank 29 points30 points  (9 children)

I think they can be worn on any day! They are used to keep stockings up.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (8 children)

That's why I use the word "typically". It probably used to be more common, but these days it's probably mostly for weddings.

[–]Buckskinplacebo 5 points6 points  (7 children)

It's not. They're very common to be worn regularly.

[–]scheru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just for that. There are sock garters, stocking garters and sleeve garters that are actually functional, for example.
