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.
