In an IM session last night regarding the all-important topic of fashion, Deb and I were discussing khaki pants.

This led to the question: What is khaki? Is it a color? Where did this term come from? Well, as soon as I had a second, I had to find some info. It's just the weirdest sounding word. Anyway, I guess it does refer to a color. It comes from the Persian KHAK, meaning earth colored or dust colored in case anyone was curious.

It was a lot more entertaining when I didn't know what it meant and it was just a funny word.
