Just guessing here-- but gird and girdle have the same root- the idea of a belt or sash- and i suspect gird (ing) ones loins- was the equivalent of putting on a jock strap -- protective clothing --before going off to fight (or gallop away on a horse, or march off..)or face what ever adversary was in front of one.
In the past-- civilized people wore loose flowing clothing-- (and barbarians wore trousers!) girdle is still used in the sense of binding-- as in ivy girdling a tree and killing it.--and for us old ladies-- we still remember girdles (even if we don't wear them!)

um, i was kinda happy that this thread was dying
I was going to bite my tongue and post no more here, but seeing others are continuing to do so, there's no need for me to go out on a limb.
(I know that last one is pushing it, but what the... (in deference to Jackie!) heck - I might as well stick my neck out!

Can't be as bad as the ad for Viagra...man doing two-handed push-ups on bathroom floor, then one-handed push-ups, then - ah the power of Viagra - no handed push-ups.

Okay, that (and several recent posts) did it. The gutter is
getting too deep for me, and I'm officially climbing out.
(Though not necessarily permanently.)

Remember when the Spanish diplomat rejected present of stockings for Spanish queen "because the Queen of Spain has no legs"? Dear Jackie, I hope you were not similarly handicapped in climbing out of the polluted drainage ditch that was not intended to offend you or anybody else.
