Obscure, Late, Cure


With young people, there is a trend, a fad, to wear toques daily, regardless of the weather. There is an obscure term for a lover of hats - kapelophile - kapel deriving from the Latin word for a hood or hat. Extending this, a lover of toques would therefore be a toqueophile.

I’ve wondered why someone would want to wear a winter hat in late summer but have never found a good answer. Is it a form of madness? Is there a cure for it? Should there be?

I’d scratch my head in wonderment, but my toque is in the way.
