He's talking through his hat

Posted by Ortin on February 02, 2002

My grandmother used to sometimes say "he's talking through his hat", which I believe meant "he doesn't know what he's talking about" or "he's talking pure hogwash." Now I believe (don't know) that this is what the expression meant. Does anyone know for sure? And what about where the expression came from?
