I was almost expecting the last guess to be “Another feather in your Carp”

And that’s just putting up with Pat’s sexist BS.

Or guessing “…in your HaT” when H and T are already present elsewhere (namely, “another” and “feather”). Though I suppose it was a good faith approximation of “…in your cap,” yeah that must’ve threw them off their game.!

For all those laughing at how people could not know this simple phrase, and even point to a lyric in Yankee Doodle as to how ubiquitous it is:
“Yankee Doodle went to town / riding on a pony / stuck a feather in his cap / and called it macaroni”
I would then turn and laugh at them if they’re similarly unable to explain what is meant by ‘macaroni’ in that sentence. Especially if they think somehow it has to do with rhyming ‘doodle’ with ‘noodle’ and meant pasta.
Nope, it was a short-lived fashion style starting in 1760s England that the rest of the country quickly jumped towards ridiculing, with language similar to homophobic/transphobic statements of today. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-macaroni-in-yankee-doodle-is-not-what-you-think

That thing about bread making birds explode is a myth.

Not sure if serious, but you’re conflating two different things. Rice making birds explode is a myth. Bread is bad for birds because of malnutrition or mold.

I suspect that like most myths it varies based on location, it was bread where I grew up.
I accept that it’s rice in other places tho.

I so wanted the last guy to just roll his eyes and say, exasperatedly, “Another feather on your cap.”

Forget “colder than a witch’s tit”, I think we’ve found another phrase that’s in danger of dying out.
(I checked, it wasn’t in the survey results.)
