October 20, 2004 --
One day my friend Amy Spencer employed the term "Khaki Tucker" to
denote a certain kind of drab, Dockers-wearing fellow. You know the
kind - they went to third-rate colleges, aspire to hold middle
management jobs, drink at places on Third Avenue featuring "happy hour"
and are excited by new developments in stain-proof clothing, which mean
they may be able to wear that same pair of Dockers for days on end.
In
other words the kind of people Harry Dean Stanton was referring to in
"Repo Man" when he said, "Ordinary fucking people - assholes."
Khaki Tucker entered our lexicon immediately The only question is what
to call a female Khaki Tucker? A Tucker-Fucker? Tucker-Sucker? |
Dockers' "Cyber Tuckers"

| Now I notice that Khaki Tucker emporium Pottery Barn has a "Tucker Buffet", while J. Crew's latest catalogue features a "Tucker Scarf". Coincidence? Hell no. |
