Mistress Nessonite? 🙂 Am I a good influence or what? 🙂
Being a non-native English speaker, I will defer to dictionary.com for the definitions:
Tights: n 1: skintight knit garment covering the body from the waist to the feet worn by acrobats and dancers and as stockings by women and girls
Stocking: n. (1) A close-fitting, usually knitted covering for the foot and leg made from nylon, silk, cotton, wool, and similar yarns. (2) An item resembling this covering.
Nylons: Stockings made of one of these synthetic materials (Any of a family of high-strength, resilient synthetic polymers, the molecules of which contain the recurring amide group CONH.)
To me, "tights" are made of a knitted fabric, while "nylons" are nylon stockings. "Stockings" usually means nylon hosiery to me, but could also include "tights." "Pantyhose," of course, are nylon stockings with a built-in "panty."
I love wearing nylon stockings, either with a garter or as pantyhose 🙂 It makes the guys go wild.
Luv and language,
