What a curious aversion to specificity.

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

Actually, given your stated dietary habits, this seems about right to me. :shifty:

I pronounce it "hat"
Yep. Sometimes I’ll add the word “knit” or “wool” after it.

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.

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

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