Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
it is getting cold out there, and living in Florida, I see a lot of people from the Northern Region. And a debate has started. When I said I needed my Toboggan, cuz I'm bald, to keep my head warm, My Boss, from Michigan, started laughing his ass(arse) off:icon_confused:. He asked why would I put a toboggan on my head, and I said where else would I put it. and he told me a toboggan was a sled for snow. all my life a toboggan has been a hat, until now.
So, I ask, "What is a toboggan to you?"

In Michigan... a toboggan is a wood sled rolled over on the front.

Those long tailed hats we called them stocking caps. The tail was long enough you could wrap it around your face and neck then tuck it into your coat. it was a hat and scarf in one.

Is a toboggan a sled or a hat?

Both derive from French tabaganne, which derives from an Algonquian word, probably Mi'kmaq tepaqan or Abenaki dabôgan, influenced by similar words in other Eastern Canadian Algonquian languages. The sense of "hat" is recorded since 1929 and is short for toboggan cap (1928), a cap suitable for wearing while tobogganing.

Do you want a neck brace? Because that is how you get a neck brace.
