Black Tie
Confirmed the definition finally. Two sample responses. The last one is the correct one. Other responses varied heaps.
“yeah like for a dinner it means you wear a suit doesn’t it? or something like that”
[does it mean specifically a tuxedo or suit?]
“I am not sure, you ask your parents”
[They don’t know either :)]
“my mum and her receptionist reckon it means a dinner suit, ie just a normal suit or a tux”
[ah so it doesn’t mean tux and only tux, but also dinner suit?]
“apparently”
Hey, Inferno…
Black tie is ultra-formal. In other words, a tuxedo with a bow tie, cumberbund, and cufflinks are a must. Classical music is normally played in the background and people wander around quoting Oscar Wilde and thinking they’re the be all, end all, and laughing politely at inane remarks.
It’s all really rather boring and pretentious. But, my definition is accurate.

Heh.. I dunno what the hell a cumberbund is. But basically it’s a black coat and black pants, white shirt, bowtie and any other, I guess, “accessories”. My guess is that the definition may be a little tighter, but that’ll do.
