Vanity Fair special issue from 1903 dedicated to “bifurcated girls”, i.e. women in trousers. Note this isn’t the same Vanity Fair of current fame, but an earlier magazine with the same name, more of a Victorian version of FHM. – The Public Domain Review

Ha! This is the first time I’ve heard of that word referring to trousers before! I use “bifurcated” often, but mainly to refer to…. well…. a certain biological fact about possums that Buster likes to brag about!

To be honest, I didn’t recognize the word before I saw this. And now I’m going to have to find some time to scan your toons – I can’t recall you using the term. I do follow the reference though. 😄
