That reminds me. Here are a couple of East-Texas ways of saying things (they seem to be fading with but people still slip into them from time to time.)
"How much you like?" (Translation "How much do you lack on X" X=Job/amount/etc.)
"I'm heading to the House" (I'm heading home)
"Can I carry you to the house?" (Need a Ride home?)
Use of these have faded over the 10 or so years I have lived here, but people still know what you mean. Might have to use that in my fanfic.

Odd. I've never used "How much you like" or "Can I carry you to the house", but I've certainly used "I'm heading to the house". I still do that.

Except he probably plugs his webcam into his neural port while choosing clothes for maximum impact.

I think he has them arranged in the closet so he knows which is which.

Jericho grinned as the two blithely walked past Emerson, much to the irritation of some of the less forgiving boys on campus. Among the prettyboy dorm, Jericho was the weird, blind nerd-freak who they often openly called a fag due to his manner of dress. And speaking of dresses, Jericho's kilt was an odd shade of puke green mixed with lime green in a plaid color that hurt the eyes. The dark purple Moiré patterned shirt was nausea inducing. Even Razorback couldn't look at those weirdly reflective patterns without his stomach lurching.
-Dude, why did you have to pick that shirt out? You know how painful it is to look at.-
"I thought I grabbed the gold silk one. It was supposed to be the third one over in the hangar." Jericho turned his head toward his buddy.
-Joe you grabbed the purple Moiré thing that made me barf when we met.-
"Shit, bro, I'm sorry. I'll try to get it changed tonight when we get a moment." Jericho sounded irritated, and he was. He just happened to have picked out a piece of clothing that was actually designed to make other people sick which was something he usually reserved for dealing with jerks, not tormenting his own buddies.

He has a neural plug. He uses a webcam to do the initial colour combinations, but then depends on position in the closet from that point on. He can't go around all day with a camera jacked into his skull, after all. That'd be just asking for trouble.

Even if he can judge by texture and mass, most jersey knit fabrics are identical in weight and fabric - they only differ by colour and printing/pattern.
