The other night I was watching some show and they said that picking hair or fluff or whatever off of someone is a “girlfriend thing”. Like only someone who’s your partner is supposed to do it because it’s an intimate, flirtatious thing. I thought that was silly so I looked it up.

Apparently it actually caused a huge scandal in the 1950s among the royal family. Princess Margaret was seen picking lint off someone’s jacket and reporters freaked out. They said 

Picking the fluff off a man is a gesture even more intimate than a kiss because it suggests that the kissing has already happened.” I mean, they were right in Princess Margaret’s case. She was in love with the man in question. But I just laughed because what would they think of all this:

Oh my. Scandalous. XD
