The toboggan thing screwed me up recently. As I've been born and raised in North Carolina, I never even knew that was a regional term, I had always thought that was what everyone called them. So I needed to find a cheap one for part of a halloween costume and being stuck at work I resorted to the internet. Low and behold everywhere i search I can't find a damn thing about any toboggans! Except for the odd site that referred to what seemed to be a sled, nothing about a nice, knit, warm, toboggan to wear on your head
while sledding. Eventually I gave up and just walked around some stores till I found one, and it wasn't till this thread that I finally know why it was hard to find a simple toboggan online.
If i was to hear someone say they were sledding on a toboggan I'd think they were out of their freakin' heads, trying to sled while standing on their head. I mean jeez, that'd have to be cold, good thing they've got a warm toboggan on!
