http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuque

"In the United States, this type of hat is usually referred to as a knit hat, knit cap, sock cap or stocking cap, and sometimes as a ski hat. In the U.S. southern states, it is sometimes called a toboggan."

"A beanie is a similar type of hat." (bold italics mine)


HAHAHAHAHA!!! We win!

refference for that?

I call it tuque because it is a tuque. Beanies are not the same thing. For me, a beanie is a kind of tuque, but it's knit and has bigger knit we can clearly see.

Wow, where did you pull that fact, out of your ass?

You can't rely on the fact that we have more mexicans and blacks. You damn racist.

"The word tuque is not etymologically related to the name of the chef's toque, although tuque is sometimes spelled "toque" (though still pronounced /tuk/) by assimilation. The word is also sometimes spelled "touque"; while this is technically a misspelling, it's a quite common one."
