[HPFGU-OTChatter] Pants/Correcting myself

[Neil Ward]

Amanda:

<< My family often called things by singular forms that do not exist. One
item of clothing was a "clo" (singular of clothes)...>>

Your family knows more than you think, Amandageist.  A 'clo' is a unit used
to measure the degree to which someone is clothed in experimental
situations.  For example, in measuring the lowest acceptable temperature for
an office space, women will often complain of feeling cold before men,
because they are invariably wearing a lower number of clo units, especially
on the legs.

I thought I'd share this wisdom from my Human Environmental Physiology
classes.
