I offended this chick in Chilis one night at the bar. She was using the word "like" WAY too often. I had quite a few beers and told her she was probably the most annoying person I had ever heard lol. The look on her face was priceless. She was the cutesy cheerleader "I'm SO popular" type and it shot her back down to Earth VERY quickly...

Of course my friends to the north would call it a toque.
we always just called them a face mask.
In most Arab countries they are called "That thing that chicken poo poos wear over their head and face to avoid being recognized for doing really bad things"
(edit - and as you see by the temp out tonight [expecting -20F by morning] I will be wearing one tomorrow morning!!)0
