re: #890 Throbert McGee

(The generic Russian name for this kind of winter hat with earflaps, by the way, whether military-style faux-fur, or real fur, or fleece, is ушанка — ushnka, pronounced like “ew-SHONK-uh”)

I forgot to add (not that anyone cares) that ushi means “ears” in Russian — thus, the word ushanka literally translates to something like “thingamajig for the ears.” (Although it has to be outer-space cold before a Real Russian Man will fold down the earflaps on his ushanka.)
