And they call themselves men ...

I just barely skimmed over the first four pages of post so I’m not sure if this as already been stated by anyone else already. Anyway it seemed to me that there were some people complaining about the younger generation and there manners. I just wanted to say that I'm only 15 but I was raised to always be polite to people. I was told hold open doors, give up my seat. and help not only women, elderly and handicapped people but every one. I do admit that it is harder for younger people to be polite all the time because so many of us are not as mature as adults.

Hey, I'm 18 and I always try to be as polite and considerate as possible. I also recognize that most people my age are boors. There's no two ways about it. Boors. Many are polite, but most are not.

It's frustrating.

I've never heard the word 'toque'. "Beanie" I'm familiar with but I've always called them 'watch caps' but only if they're pure wool and black or OD in color. At night or in overcast weather a brim just gets in the way and a watch cap is just about the warmest, lightest cap that you can wear, wet or dry. The wind will never blow it off and it makes a great helmet liner in the winter.

And here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan we call them chook. I read once about this and here is what it said. The name of the head covering is from the French word toque, pronounced very much like "Chook", which means a small hat without brim.

Also known as a "stocking cap" around here.

Here in Quebec we call them «tuque». Cannot explain in English how it is pronounced. In phonetic alphabet, it is /tsYk/. In standard French, it would be /tyk/, but they call that a «bonnet».

And here I thought a chook was a chicken

[sorcererdale]

I think it is too, cuz that is what google showed me. But we better get back on topic, just picture a chicken in a kilt.

A chicken never wears a kilt, we all know that. The chicken orders a kilt and then lets it hang in his closet because he doesn't have large enough eggs to wear in out in public.
