I think it is a bit more subtle than that, Mac. Not just that it is obviously inaccurate, but the wearer knows it is and isn't willing to progress towards something more accurate.
Any new person might wear or do something inaccurate from ignorance, they are not a ****. An otherwise progressive person might have an inaccurate item, that they will replace when a more accurate one becomes available or priced reasonably... they are not a ****. A person may need to do something inaccurate to accomodate a medical situation... they are not a ****.
...but the person who has something inaccurate, makes no apologies for it, makes no attempt to get it out of public view, and will not accept that it needs to be changed... that's a pretty helpless **** in their ***** ensemble.
Could be, this is jest what someone told me. He was a WW2 and Korean veteran. I was a youngster of 18.I've always heard the term comes from the phrase:
“Far be it from me to tell you that your impression is incorrect . . . "
There is another (supposed) origin of the term I've heard, related to American Revolution reenactors, "Fairly Authentic, Resembling British." I'm dubious about that origin, but I'll throw it on the pile anyway.
He-larious! Think I've passed this place!
The good news is, they have their own package store:
