Bitty knows that Jack knows that Bitty knows how to dress warmly for the cold. After all, he had survived two entire New England winters yet. But he smiles and laughs when Jack pulls the beanie down over his bangs.
Jack chirps him about properly wearing toques and how you feel a lot warmer when your head is warm, and Bitty chirps him because no one uses the word toque down here, stop trying to make toque happen. They somehow end up talking about all the different ways to pronounce pecan.NOVEMBER 28TH 19:33 10,272 NOTES

toque (/ˈtoʊk/[1] or /ˈtɒk/) is a type of hat with a narrow brim or no brim at all.
They were popular from the 13th to the 16th century in Europe, especially France. Now it is primarily known as the traditional headgear for professional cooks, except in Canada where the term is primarily used for knit caps.
CanadianMain article: Knit capIn Canada,
tuque /ˈtuːk/ is the common name for a knitted winter hat, or watch cap (sometimes called a beanie in other parts of the world); the spelling "touque", although not recognized by the Canadian Oxford Dictionary, is also sometimes seen in written English. The Canadian-English term was assimilated from Canadian-French tuque.
Toque first appeared in writing around 1870.
The fashion is said to have originated with the
coureurs de bois, French and
Métis fur traders, who kept their woollen nightcaps on for warmth during cold winter days. Such hats are known in other English-speaking countries by a variety of names, including
beanie, watch cap or
stocking cap; the terms
tuque and
toque are unique to Canada and northern areas of the United States close to the Canada–United States border.
