What's a Hoodie?


While shopping for clothes online, I noticed quite a few tops now have hoods on them and are called "hoodie's". When I was growing up it was called a "sweatshirt", but whatever. This particular one had the description of being a "romantic hoodie". Romantic.....hoodie.......hmm, they just don't go together.
When I think of clothes with hoods, I think of jogging, boxing, rappers, or the unibomber. Definitly not romantic.



This one is called "Dress with Hood". Again, it's a DRESS with a HOOD on it. Why? Am I just not getting the fashion statement here? What is the point of having a hood on a dress? I guess you will be prepared if you need to go jogging in the rain, punch someone in the face, or bomb something.

When "hoodies" first came back into fashion, I thought they were the dumbest things. Now I actually own a couple (of hooded shirts or sweaters) but I don't wear them as fashion statements. I actually do wear them when it's cold or raining, and I use the hood for a purpose. A hooded dress or "romantic" hoodie? Ridiculous.

My younger siblings told me about hoodies a few years ago. I said "the only thing that I consider a hoodie will always and forever be those little cups of ice cream from Hood." (Hood the milk company).
It took a few years, but I finally gave in to this bastardization of the English language.
sigh.
