Just been called a "dressing gown" on Twitter. I have no idea what this means other than I am guessing it is an insult because the guy didn't agree with my comment.

There doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer to the insult ‘dressing gown’, although a synonym is a ‘lounging robe’ which I consider to a rather complimentary term if somewhat louche. Very Noel Coward, dear boy. :whisky:

Shirley if mockney he should've called you a "dressing", as in "Are you going up the apples?" the use of the first descriptive but not the actual rhyming word, jolly clever.

I don't know but you should definitely be offended, or I will be offended on your behalf.

I haven't heard it before. I would guess he's saying you sit at home all day in your dressing gown posting messages on social media. Along the lines of "keyboard warrior".

I could be barking up the wrong tree though :shrug:

Maybe he thinks your name is Terry?

Regardless, it's a lot of old.flannel. You can't be expected to cotton on to that.
