  If someone said to me "are you decent" I'd assume they meant was I dressed!

  I think theres more to the word behine decent, because someone can say that place is decent or that person is.
  It means other things.

  When I'm on DS I think it's a case, as Gollum says "...we're not in decent places now...."

  Has it not been proven on here that the OP and LP Robinson are one and the same person. In which case its strange that the OP keeps starting threads followed imediately by replys from LP Robinson. Someone has very serious issues!!

  :D
  
  Depends on the context its used in.
  
  But generally "Are you decent?" means to me "Are you clothed, or at least not fully naked?"

  LostPigeon, this is why the Europeans are taking your job, because you're asking silly questions.
