Dickies Movin' On Up

[riflearm2]

Dickies, known for their workwear, overalls/bibs, and pants which have fairly recently been adopted by skaters, is moving its headquarters out of red Texas for the better pastures of blue California:

“Fairly recently by skaters?”

You clearly never went to a Warped Tour. Dickies was a staple of Southern California skaters/punk rockers for 20-30 years now.

 

[Rock98Dog]

When you are as old as rifle is now 20-30 years seems recent. You’ve seen his hairline.

 

[MichiganHerd]

Wish my Dickie would move on up more often

 

[Archetype XLIV]

It's still in the United States so this is a non-starter for me—this is one thing I refuse to compromise on. Despite the professional attire my job demands, I make it a point to incorporate a pair of Dickies pants into my wardrobe once or twice a week. They are comfortable, durable, and hold personal significance. They were a signature of the greatest person I’ve ever known, who wore them—wrist cuffs buttoned—while working in 90-degree heat, bailing hay.

There is just something therapeutic about putting on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt then doing some physical labor.

Children, comprehension and relation are important aspects in the medical and legal fields, and you both have failed.

“Fairly recent” was said on purpose, as “recent” would have been a much closer/nearer timeline.

Dickies has been around for over 100 years. So yes, something that started about 30 years ago is “fairly recent” for their brand.

Thanks for the clarification there.

I will now know that when my 90 year old patients tell me that fairly recently they had abdominal pain it may be something that occurred three decades ago.

If Rifle ever shows up in your waiting room, tell him you will see him shortly then go home for the day.

Gotta throw in the "relatively" first.

We'll be with you "relatively shortly" Mr. Rifle.

He'll undertand the day is 24 hours long, so waiting 4 more hours is relatively a short amount of time.

My MCAT expertise tells me that doctors won’t accept a “fairly recent” answer. They will ask “a week, a month, a year, five years?”

Good doctors, that is. There are a lot of bad doctors out there . . .

Yup, just like every profession. That is true.

I often have to clarify with my patients what "it's been a minute" since something happened means. Hadn't heard that phrase in Appalachia but out in the cities I hear it.

Employee orientstion. Here is one of our new hires. He just started three decades ago.

But the company has been around for 100 years so it makes sense.

I expected the retort to be "what kind of emo skater nerd goes to Warped Tour, of course I didn't know this, I was busy *insert doing something better than going to Warped Tour*"

But instead he's doubling down on the vernacular. Gotta love it.

Let me give you another example since you must be one of those doctors who accepts “fairly recent” as an answer:

In a paper published in Nature Geosciences,the researchers report that the inner core is only about 565 million years old—relatively young compared to the age of our 4.5-billion-year-old planet. “Until this data, the age of the inner core was uncertain,” says John Tarduno, a professor and chair of earth and environmental sciences at Rochester. “There’s this huge range of 2 billion years where scientists think the inner core could’ve formed. These are the first field-strength data from the younger part of the range of possibilities suggesting that the inner core is really young.”

Is 565 million years “really young” like the professor stated? In simple minds, there is no way 565 million years is “really young.” But relative to the 4.5 billion year age of the planet, it is “really young.”

In other words, my original explanation is accurate: relation is important, unless you’re from west virginia, in which case, it has no impact on who you fvck.

Is it "makin' you feel some type uh way?"

There is still time in this thread to accuse me (correctly) of attending multiple ska shows at VFW's in the late 90's, thus leading to my knowledge of Dickies in skater culture. And discussing how in retrospect that may be sorta cringe.

You can always bring that up instead of going for age of earth commentary.

 

[30CAT]

It wouldn't be because California based, VF Corporation purchased Dickies and is consolidating its real-estate would it?

Nah....Couldn't be.

 

[Rock98Dog]

What 40 year old man considers something that happened 35 years ago as “fairly recent”.

You can simply say “I was wrong”.

 

[ThunderCat98]

Dickies has been around for over 100 years. So yes, something that started about 30 years ago is “fairly recent” for their brand.

C'mon. Even you don't believe this bullsh!t. You made a mistake. Own it and move on. It's okay.

 

[ThunderCat98]

Really? I live in Appalachia and hear that phrase quite often.

 

[-CarlHungus-]

Really? I live in Appalachia and hear that phrase quite often.

maybe it coincided with me moving out of WV about two decades ago and I'm confusing it for a regional thing when it's more of a timing thing.

I don't remember hearing it in college.

Again, it is in relation to the topic being discussed. I purposely used "fairly" to modify "recently" since I knew it wasn't within the last few years and wanted to show that it was significantly longer than that but still new for the brand compared to their history.

You morons really struggle with comprehension: Had I said that the brand was known for pants that skaters wear, you morons would have said "are you kidding me? Dickies is known for workwear and overhauls." Hence, I mentioned both areas they are known in and specificied that the skater wear was fairly recent (relative to the other area I mentioned they are known for).

C'mon. Even you don't believe this bullsh!t. You made a mistake. Own it and move on. It's okay.

But it wasn't a mistake. It was purposely done to show the difference between the brand's main identity, historically, and what has been more recent for them.

No one buys the back peddle BS. You got called out, you were wrong in trying to link a current event (them moving) to what you tried to claim was a “fairly recent” development, while not knowing that they have been in skater culture for over 30 years.

It’s okay, just take the L and move on. It’s not like anyone here will think less of you than they already do.
