<p>I like the one I found and use in my website - it's called 'Where did you get that hat?' and I think it's a perfect example of old fashioned wording, and it says what a lot of people think even today, when they see a hat they really like.</p>
<p>Not too sure where the word ' tile' come from in relation to a hat, but it does convay the meaning well - after all, a tile sits on top, just like a hat</p>
<p>This is not a saying, more a little rhyme </p>

<p><strong>"As mad as a mad hatter!"</strong></p>
<p>In the 18th century, they use to use mercury to stiffen felt hats, and then would get mercury poisoning, which led people to go 'mad'. The 'mad hatter' character in 'Alice in wonderland" was inspired by a guy named Carter who knew milliners who went mad or had dementia.</p>
