Victoria,

Thank you for upskilling me.

That's interesting, 'bout "hoody."

So "hoody," as in "hooded sweatshirt," now can mean the person wearing same?

Tell you what, I might have thought the "person" reference had come from "the 'hood," meaning "neighborhood," as in "boys in the 'hood."

I thought a soul patch was an especially bushy "highway to heaven" or some less geeky term for the uptrickle of pubic hair beyond the Triangle.

Might as well be, as that is what it looks like when you see one.

That is exactly what I thought when I read that one.  I didn't know I was throwing myself into a group of people just by wearing a sweatshirt with a hood!  And I certianly wouldn't have ever thought to describe myself as a hoody either - thinking the same as you did - that it would mean I was from the "hood" or something.

Interesting.
