Loins are still girded in the Indian sub continent where men sometimes wear "lungis" (man skirts). They gird their loins for heavy work. |

I gird my Pork loin chops with a nice strong German mustard,sauerkraut and potato fritters, yum, the only girding I know :)
Cheers OFM nice illustration of the classical girding which I am led to believe was practiced by the old Scots and Irish warriors with their linen shirts of saffron colour too. |

Isn't this a skill my Dad should have taught me? Like making an axe, or skinning a carcass? I feel so neglected. |

This wasn't on GQ's list of "10 Things Every Guy Should Know." |

Even better than learning how to "gird up one's loins". Is the link that leads to "how to poop like a samurai!" |

Not wishing to be a party pooper but there is a general misconception of where the loins are, probably resulting from the phrase "fruit of my loins". The loins are the lower back and sides, the bits which contain the muscles that do the hard work! |
