Sweater

An article of clothing that your mother makes you wear whenever she is cold.
Son comes inside, from riding his bike, to get a drink of water.

Son: "Mom I'm going back out to ride with my friends."
Mom: " Get back here young man. It's cold out there. You are not going back out until you put this sweater on."
Son: But mom! It's 68° and I'll be too hot.

Mom: You will. Not go back out without wearing this. End of story.

Son: OK Mom.

winter sweater

A brief relationship during the winter months sought out to provide oneself with an added sense of comfort, security, worth and purpose, which will then seem less relevant or necessary once winter is over. Similar to the "cuffing season" phenomenon.

Knit a sweater phase

When sex is not a high priority and the idea of doing anything but the act is more interesting. This is a multi-use phrase. Having children definately brings on knit a sweater. Dating a prude or someone with no vision absolutely qualifies under knit a sweater. When men use this term it is crucial to understand that someone needs to put them out of their misery immediately. All fabulous people.. honey, knit away.
I think my best friend is going through the knit a sweater phase, because she was mad at me wanting to look sexy for my new boyfriend. The sweatsuit and frizzy hair were also tell-tale signs that I should have shut up talking, but I didn't, and she bit my head off.

Sweater Neck

The awful looking hairy neck some men leave when they meticulously groom a goatee. Yuck
That guy is cute, but the sweater neck calls into question his grooming habits. Nope

Sweater draper

Most often found in Spain or Le Touquet in France. The offender is usually a pretentious individual who thinks he is superior to all others.

The drape effect is achieved with a cashmere sweater, preferably mustard or lemon coloured, which is neatly passed over the shoulders to be worn in a pointless but 'look at me' style.

Watch out for the 'flip' which is mastered by only the most experienced draper. This is a single motion over the head sweater drape resulting in equi-distant sleeve drop and a perfectly level rear quarter.

The sweater draper is completed by a most cocky 'swank' of a walk.
Look at that 'sweater draper' he really knows he looks the business! The mustard cashmere and navy corduroy slacks really set off his 'swank'.
