Kids today. They just walk around with casually clothed loins like that’s how it always was. In my day, a man knew how to gird. We had one tunic and we girded it like there was no tomorrow. And we liked it — we loved it — we never saw anything better!

Metaphorically, yes, but not literally.

If you're gonna play baseball, better wear a cup.

That is not what girding loins is!

Prescriptionist! Girding is "preparing" and I'd contend putting on a cup is a specific loin preparation.

Also, not to be a prescriptivist, but it’s “prescriptivist”.

Oh, bother. I had it right in my head and my hands typed it stupid.

tmkeesey.bsky.social•44 days ago

Girding is encircling!

Also, the cup protects the metaphorical loins, but not the literal loins.
