Or . . . well . . . Yankee. )

I think I left something out when I mentioned the cross. You'd never see the thing during the normal course of the day. It lives under his shirt and when you look at you can tell it's only taken of if it would be dangerous to wear, or he's doing something were jewelry would get in the way (shower, sleep, yard work). I didn't mean to make Mr. PinkRose sound in any way effeminate. It's more just a religious thing for him.

No, I figured that, and I wasn't meaning to imply that he is effeminate in any way. My point was just that in my experience most guys, including Catholics, "from around here" (as we would say) wouldn't even wear one under their shirts where it can't be seen. Why? Because guys "from around here just don't do that."

Different places, different styles, it would seem.
