I was planning to buy a watch. And so, my sister and I went to the mall.
From one stall to another, I patiently looked for the perfect watch. Until I saw what I was looking for. It was a sporty type rubber strap for female and it has a variety of colors to choose from—red, pink, black, gray, white and dark blue. Usually, I would go for the red but I already have one. So, I chose gray for it was kind of unique. As the salesclerk was wrapping my watch I said to my sister, “Gray color would go with anything. I don’t have to worry about matching it with the dress or shoes I’m wearing.” Before my sister could say a word, the salesclerk cheerfully chirped in, “Yes, Ma’am. It’s unisex and it matches with anything!”
Unisex? I know I have that confused look in my face. And I could hear my sister giggling.
Honestly, I’d prefer the words ‘Neutral color’ than Unisex. It would make a lot of sense.
Have you ever had a conversation that confuses you in the end?

@SIMPLYD The use of word unisex kind of confused me because I thought she was referring to the watch which was a sports watch for female. Then I realized I was talking about the color.

Hello @YrNemo, I have two watches. One for formal occasions and one for everyday use (the sporty one that I bought ). I used to have more before like 8... but batteries are expensive. So I have to settle for two.

"unisex' is so common used word in our slang instead of neutral color. Unisex color, dress, name among others, we seldom use 'neutral name or dress.

Somehow, you're right. It's a common word to describe that it can be worn either men or women.

Now that you mentioned it, I couldn't agree more. I was kind of confused at first because I was thinking she was referring to the watch itself. It was sports watch for women and then she mentioned unisex.

The confusion started when I thought she was talking about the watch, which was obviously a female watch. Then I realized she was talking about the color. Yes, you're right @Letranknight2015, it means either for men or women.

A lot will use the word unisex in referring to be a neutral thing, sis! Like beige is a unisex color cause it matches anything.
