Speaking with a friend about the evolution of language when she cited theis example: She is sewing an authentic Native American outfit for a traditional wedding ceremony. Part of the man's outfit is what she referred to as a loin cloth. Her daughter and her NA husband refer to the same article of clothing as a breech cloth, while a young (15) woman who lives on the reservation calls it a butt flap. Generational difference?
