Irving: I used to wear a "36", and now a "34" is baggy! HAH! What do you call that?! Cathy: "Psychotactic". Irving: What? Cathy: A tactic used to psych shoppers into thinking they're thinner than they are. They put smaller sizes on bigger clothes to make you feel better about buying them. Irving: You mean when the tag says you're a size smaller, you could have GAINED weight?! Cathy: No! I mean YOU could have gained weight! When the tag says I'm a size smaller, I'm a size smaller!

That’s right. And my kids are getting older, but I’m staying young.

if the tag says 34 and it’s baggier than my old 36 I stop shopping at that store and never buy that brand of pants. This is why they can’t get away with this stuff in men’s clothing.

I wonder if they call that sort of deception “ego” labelling. Is that anything like your spouse resetting the scale to make you think you lost weight?
