A ten-gallon hat holds only about ¾ gallon. The name is thought to come from the Spanish tan galán, meaning “very gallant,” or galón, “braid.”

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I love weird stuff like this and therefore had to share.  You're welcome.

That's awesome! I love things like that, too. I wonder how many things are really an extrapolation from something else? Nothing's exactly as it seems and that's good — or at least very human of us.

Thanks! I'm sure there are a lot , especially bastardizations of foreign words. Agreed, I love how human we are and that our language reflects it.
