I found this definition online for anyone that may want to know:
In Southern American English, Appalachian English, and Yooper dialect, toboggan refers to a type of hat. This is sometimes shortened to boggan or lengthened to boggan cap. This type of hat is also referred to by other names: knit hat or knit cap, sock cap or stocking cap, watch cap, tuque, skull cap or sometimes as a ski cap. A beanie is a similar type of hat, and although toboggan and beanie typically refer to synonymous items in most regions, a beanie is normally more rigid, not knitted, and usually made up of structured panels of felt, twill, or other tightly woven cloth.
It is a toboggan.
ReplyDeleteI know its a toboggin, but i call it a bogin
ReplyDeleteIn the south it's a beanie according to Katie
ReplyDeleteI think beanies are usually when there is no flap that folds up. However, that could be different for the south too!
ReplyDeleteI was laughed at by a coworker for calling it a "tobbogan". They said a toboggan is a sled...
So what is the item pictured? "A hat". I said "a hat has a brim".. they said "no that's a ballcap".
Thanks for the help!
