 Most people know this. Most people, however, are not familiar with the story behind the phrase.
-It began in a small town in the general vicinity of [[Ungerry-Tubers]] called Prollztqx. Prollztqx was known at the time for holding frequent [[suspension]]s due to the fact that mispronunciation of the town's name within its borders was a suspendable offense. To make matters worse, the town was ruled over by [[twin governments]], each with its own ideas on how the name should be said properly. Suspension was an almost daily occurance. The town's suspension cap, as a result, became very dirty and worn in a very short amount of time. (This was long before sanitation laws prevented the reuse of suspension caps.)

 Eventually, people began to grow attatched to the cap, and started affectionately calling it the "Old Hat". It was like a reoccuring character in a [[luminous manuscript|lumic]], or a batty old aunt. Time passed, and it became the official mascot of Prollztqx - a decision that caused a sharp increase in the already high number of [[suspension]]s - and people began to attend the suspendings more frequently, just to see their favorite piece of headgear. The repetitious public suspensions became known as "old hats", and from there the phrase passed into common usage as well-known, routine occasions were compared to the suspensions metaphorically.

-'''Old Hat''': The phrase is used to refer to tasks or events that one is particularly familiar with to the point at which they have become routine. For instance: "I have written and researched 13 articles for this encyclopedia already, so creating new ones has become old hat."

		+	Mother Mutton published her seminal Golden Book of Linear and Dynamic Historical Projection Techniques and Coloring Fun tome to attempt to reinstall the public belief in their scholars. It became an immediate bestseller, as the same uneducated public realized the ego-potential of idly (and "disinterestingly", of course, as if this were old hat), thumbing a copy in a crowded tea shop.

		+	Antiquation analysis has been an attractive sphere of study to many generations of scholars because of its origins in one of the great mythic romances of our culture, as well as its, ah, familiarity and completeness.
