You learn something new every day

While reading a story online, I came across an interesting tidbit.

I've known for ages that among CD/TV types and even many TG/TS folks "drab" is want you wear when you can't be "en femme".

Well, the author had a xcharacter explaining it as being an acronym: DRessed As a Boy

I strongly suspect that's a back-formation (ie "drab" came first and someone later came up with this "ancronym" formation) But I like it anyway.

Funnily enough, it'll also work for "drag". :-)
