drab
adj.— «I have worn nothing *but* switchable clothing when out and about in drab for the past 6 months, with no notice. I wear either oxford-cut blouses or women’s turtlenecks, along with slim-fit ladie’s Levis and Reebok Princess sneakers. In fact, this has been so successful that part of this weekend’s planned activities is a trip to the Goodwill dropoff place to give away all of my “boy’ clothing.» —“Re: Just some observations” Usenet: alt.transgendered Mar. 3, 1994.
