I’ve just learned that apparently some Canadians call their winter hats “toboggans”. That’s crazy talk. Toboggans are the *thing multiple people slide down snow-covered hills in*. They are NOT sleds. Sleds have a single rider and have metal runners.

1 - Toboggan
2 - Sled
3 - Flying saucer

@gedeonm I’m a US southerner born in 1973 and as a kid “toboggan” was the most common word heard around here for a woven winter hat often with a poof ball thing on top.

@ashkendo @gedeonm As a US Midwestern/Southerner also born in ‘73, everyone I knew called them sock toboggans.
