Oops!

In my edit history I wrote that I "created" this page. That's not true. What I meant to say was that I was correcting this page. The descamisados were NOT a fascist union or organization of any type. It is a blanket term that was used in Argentina, mostly during the original Peronist era, to describe the followers of Juan Peron. It was not a name of a union or political party. -- Andrew Parodi 13:49, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Descamisado" or "Descamisados"?

Should this page be in the singular form or in the plural form? -- Andrew Parodi 20:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

Why is the Descamisado statue wearing a shirt? --Error 03:45, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Funny. I suppose because by that point in Argentine history the term was not taken literally. Argentine lad 14:07, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not so funny. It's explained in the article. read it: "many men in the crowd removed their shirts -- hence the term "shirtless."

Actually, very, very oh-so-funny. You see, my dear uptight one, it says "many" in the crowd removed their shirts, not all. This, my uptight friend, may be an example of one of those many terms in our world that are not to be taken literally in all cases. Argentine lad 09:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It can also be noted in a formal setting a "shirt" is not just any covering for the upper torso, but what one would now call a dress shirt. In the 1920s or 1930s, a man appearing in public with only a cotton t-shirt, or an open work-smock, would be "shirtless." 69.171.160.35 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC).[reply]
