How do you pronounce this word?

[JennyB]

Those are called winter hats.

Those are called winter hats.

Tell that to the skaters.

Toque—do you pronounce it as rhyming with oak or with juke?

What is Toque?

(Silly pom-pom on top optional.)

In southwestern PA we called 'em a toboggan, at least in my area we did.

As I mentioned on the previous page, I encountered that definition living in NC and it baffled the fuck out of me.

Thank you JB

And really Mimi, I could understand some backwards southerner confusing a hat with a type of sled but really in PA too?

What a curious aversion to specificity.

If y'all will excuse me, I'm going to eat food and drink some liquid.

In WA at least, it's called a beanie.

I thought beanies were those felt things with propellers on top.

Which is, verbatim, what I thought when I learned about this when I was in 7th grade. But now it's just common nomenclature here.

When we lived in NC, I was confused when told that what we know as a toque is called a toboggan. The confusing part is that in Canada, at least, this is a toboggan:


It's such a wide distinction for what that word describes, it baffled the hell out of me.

Yeah that's a toboggan here too. The sled, I mean. As far as I know anyway...

My head gets way too hot to wear mine above 45 - 50 degrees. I dont understand how people where them in really warm weather...other than some form of stupidity (I think I just became my dad).

My part of PA is backwards af. Appalachia, yo. It might have been just my town or circle of folks. My grandmother was a WV hillbilly.

I'm looking for something to support this, but I'm coming up empty. I wonder if it was just in my family.

I don't get wearing them outside of winter. I rarely wore one as a kid—it always felt itchy. But a combination of a frozen ear and hair loss has made it mandatory now in cold weather.

As a kid I usually only wore them because mom demanded it. I keep my hair pretty short for a long time now and I notice it below 30 if I dont wear a hat outside.
