There is no suitable place for an Octopus to wear either pants or a skirt. Octopuses are almost entirely made of face. There is no torso, no waist, no lower body. We call the appendages around the mouth “arms” (not “legs”) but they are more analogous to prehensile whiskers. I think they would be more likely to wear a cap or headband. A balaclava would be interesting.
An octopus with a helmet would be unstoppable
They’d wear swimsuits, of course. Who wears skirts or pants in the water?
Many octopodes can change the color and pattern of their skin at will.
Our clothing and tattoos are but crude facsimiles of their capabilities. Cephalopods have no need of such frivolities.
“Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power!”
Why wouldn’t they just wear stylish hats?
Now that’s a proper hat. Shelter yourself and 6 of your friends from sun or rain!
Is that xxxxxxxxxxxxxxl or xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl
England would still force them to change into trousers on the mainland.
?
…when a Scot wearing a kilt travelled to the mainland, they’d have to change into trousers, There’s changerooms still standing along the coast…
Perfect. No notes.
Octopuses have 8 arms and no legs. They’d probably wear halter tops.
I guess an octopus skirt is more like a poncho.
Why the fuck would octopuses have to wear clothes?! Come to think of it… why do humans have to wear clothes?
If that’s the reason why are you doing it in summer?
If you say protection from sun, how about warm cloudy day?
wait - read your comment properly, but you can still get sunburned on a cloudy day.
I don’t.

You live in a warm place, I think

Pants are a status symbol in octopus society. Custom tailored, and you have servants to help you put them on.
I think servants to help put them on are pretty much a necessity.
They would mostly wear hats.
Ain’t nobody got time to put 8 legs though 8 pant legs.
Or a coat of arms.
How do you gild things here?

I prefer the original, more correct, “octopizzle.”
TIL: I thought it was acceptable

Yeah but we’re using English which doesn’t follow Greek spelling rules.
Also, this.

Sure we do, on occasion anyway. Cacti, fungi, alumni, syllabi, loci, foci, radii, moduli, stimuli, uteri, papyri, nuclei, termini.
Language isn’t about being “correct”, as there’s no truly objective standard. Rather, it’s about being understood. But I guess you didn’t watch that video.

The “i” as a plural is only for words taken straight from Latin.
Sure, but we use it. We adopted those words without altering that form. You said we don’t use it in English, full stop, so I gave 13 counterexamples.
I don’t place any value on youtube videos made by people speaking outside their expertise.
I don’t think my eyes can roll any harder.

This is the place for my joke!
Did you hear about the man with five penises?
His pants fit LIKE A GLOVE!
It’s even better if you tell it in a Sean Connery voice.
