Friday Humor: Request
Perhaps someone can help me with some trivia. My minister, a Korean, is
always interested in American slang and language idiosyncracies, and has
asked me the origin of the phrase "I'll eat my hat!" Other than a hat being
an unpleasant thing to digest (like my homemade pizza), I couldn't find
anything.
Are there titans of knowledge out there who can assist? Perhaps someone
might know of a web site that explains folk expressions.
Many thanks and have a good weekend.
