Guys! Help me out a little more with some Canadian-picking. Does "in mufti" or "mufti day" mean anything to you? ETA: I mean if you happen to be Canadian! :D
"Mufti" is a WWII era term meaning "civilian garb." "In mufti" basically means being on leave in civvies.
"Mufti Day" is casual clothes day at school, though the term has, I think, been replaced by things like "jeans Friday" and whatnot. Kids get to come to school in civvies rather than uniform. I do know that when I was at grammar school, it was all uniform all the time. Bastards.
