civvies


Casual clothes, as opposed to school, work or military uniform: Hey, we get to wear civvies tomorrow!

Editor's comments: In the school context, is this used in the same way as 'mufti' is used in some other parts of Australia?

Contributor's comments: At school in Adelaide we wore civvies on "casual day". Mufti was not a term we ever used nor were aware of.

Contributor's comments: Off-duty soldiers must parade in decent civvies before being allowed on civvie-street.
