Mac, short for Mackintosh.
The Mackintosh or Macintosh (abbreviated as mac or mack) is a form of waterproof raincoat, first sold in 1824, made out of rubberized fabric. The Mackintosh is named after its Scottish inventor Charles Macintosh, though a letter k is added by many writers.
Although the Mackintosh style of coat has become generic, a genuine Mackintosh coat should be made from rubberised or rubber laminated material. (Wikipedia)
The name became generic for raincoats in the same way that Hoover became a synonym for vacuum cleaners.
:think: Hmmmm That sounds like the first recorded case of a McFetish!
:doh::doh::doh::tongue:
:think: Are you saying that you can see how that could be sexy now?
