Dealer/white scarf? It might be funny, but I don't get it. An inside
joke perhaps?
Also, I have no clue what shamrock pants are. It can't mean they're pants
equipped with a big, bright-green, shamrock-shaped codpiece because
codpieces aren't part of women's clothing. But perhaps they have a big
shamrock embroidered or affixed in the same location as a codpiece would
be? Maybe the pants are especially snug and "shamrock" is a term used to
mean the same thing as the mundane mention of a dromedary pedal digit?
Are they a certain shade of green? A certain length? Something akin to
Viking "funny" pants, cut so that they balloon in a trilobate fashion?
Perhaps they have a pair of big shamrocks on the seat? Maybe they're
shimmering, metallic-green, MC Hammer-style pants worn by Irish disk
jockeys or Gaelic rap artists? Could they be mint-flavored, edible
garments that are frosted and magically delicious? Or even a certain pair
of otherwise-normal pants that acquired a prominent green stain on the
backside during a romp in some clover? There are just too many
possibilities to have any real idea, but my rather over-active imagination
keeps coming up with some very interesting possibilities.
