[AT] Denim Barn Frocks

[charlie hill]

answer continued:

I said a woman's frock was a dress or a nightgown.  Come to think of it a 
"house coat" would qualify as a frock too.  When I was a boy the term was 
kind of a catch all.   I can remember hearing conversations like this. 
Knock on the door.  "there's been a wreck out on the road"    "Alright, let 
me get my frock on."
