Frock (n)
A great type of apparel that is apparently coming back into fashion, especially in nursing homes across Australia. Harold Frock invented the frock in the late sixteenth century, after he decided that females should no longer wear pantaloons. Much rioting occurred as a result of this bold discriminating statement, and many women were seen marching down Harold’s street waving burning frocks in protest. Later that night Harold was murdered. Fifty years later after the ice age finished, the frock was rediscovered and became loved by all. The world’s first amusement park, Frockville, was opened and included such rides as the ‘Frockinator’, ‘Freaky Frock’ and ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Frock!’ The park received great business until a rival park named Disneyland opened, whose anti-frock policy forced Frockville to close. In protest, celebrities grouped together to record the number one smash single ‘Frock the World’. More recently, stylish tartan frocks have been selling through the roof, making for the perfect clothing item to wear to lectures, work or 21st parties. Frocks have recently been installed with magnetic powers so that many an item can be ‘fashionably’ attached, including saucepans, spoons, bobby pins and leftover crumbs of turnip chips.

Wowser!! That one was a long explaination!!
Frock is a word that my Nan (Mum's Mum) would use. Does your grandma use the word frock too?
Is a frock much different to a dress? Is it a particular style of dress?
Anyway. I think I might get around to adding something when I think of something else to say about frocks.
