The Supreme Court justices vote to determine the outcome of a case. The decision is made when a simple majority (for example, five of the nine justices) agree on a judgment. Explanation.
It is a circle of elastic and fabric called a garter. Garters used to be needed on each leg to hold up silk stockings before pantyhose were invented. Since then it has no useful function. In the days when women wore only long dresses and skirts, it used to be considered quite a turn-on for a man to see enough leg to view the garter on her thigh! This is why there is the tradition of the man making a ceremony of reaching up his brideâs leg to get the garter.
Stocking. A stocking is a close-fitting, variously elastic garment covering the foot and lower part of the leg. Stockings vary in color, design and transparency. By analogy, the term is also used to describe a type of horse marking in which the white coloring extends from the horse's hoof to just above the knee. Today, stockings are primarily worn by women for fashion and aesthetics, usually in association with mid-length skirts. They can also be worn for increased warmth.
