Have You Ever Wondered WHY Yankee Doodle Stuck a Feather in His Cap and Called it Macaroni??

Yankee Doodle went to town...Mm-hm, yeah.
Riding on a pony...Ok.
Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni...Wait. What?
What’s going on here? Why would Yankee Doodle do something like that? What’s macaroni got to do with anything?
The first bit of context you need in order to understand the sense of this line is that the song “Yankee Doodle” was not always the proud, patriotic ditty we know today. It was originally sung by British soldiers in mockery of the rough, unsophisticated, American colonials they had to fight alongside during the French and Indian War. The thrust of it was “look at these ridiculous yokels!”
The second bit of context has to do with what was going on back in England at the time. It had become a rite of passage in the 18th century for young British men of means to spend some time on the European continent doing the Grand Tour, absorbing art, history, and language and becoming all-around cultured and sophisticated. When they returned, they brought back outlandish high-fashion clothes and mannerisms, and a taste for exotic Italian dishes like macaroni. As a group they were numerous and noticeable enough to get their own nickname. They were "macaroni."
Yankee Doodle, bumbling bumpkin that he was, tried his best to imitate the latest style, but only embarrassed himself in the attempt. Thinking himself a fashionable dandy, he stuck a feather in his cap and somehow thought that was macaroni. That was so something a doodle (meaning fool or simpleton) dandy would do.
It turned out the rustic, ragtag Americans weren’t much insulted by this and started singing the song themselves. It had a catchy tune, and they were never out to win any best-dressed awards anyway.
Not only did "Yankee Doodle" end up a staple of the American patriotic songbook, it gave us one of our most useful words, dude, which originally meant dandy and was formed off of doodle. So like, yeah, feather, macaroni, call it what you want, dude. Yankee Doodle's cool with it.

Did You Know?? The Star Spangled Banner Has More Than One Verse?

 

The Star Spangled Banner

United States National Anthem

 

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

 

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
 

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

 

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Maine State Fire Marshall releases information on Fireworks Injuries and Fatalities.

 

 

 

 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that in 2013, 11,400 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries associated with fireworks. About 7,400 of those injuries occurred during a one-month period from June 21, 2013 to July 21, 2013.

Of the 7,400 injuries sustained during the studied one-month period, sparklers caused about 2,300 emergency department-treated injuries. Children under 5 years old sustained an estimated 1,000 injuries (14 percent of the total injuries during this one-month period); and children 5-14 years old sustained about 1,900 injuries, which is 26 percent of the total injuries during this one-month period.  
CPSC compiles information on fireworks injuries from around the country each year. Here are some of the real-life stories of people who have been severely injured in fireworks accidents:

• A 7 year old boy lost half of his left hand, including his fingers, when he ignited an M-80 he had found hidden in a family bedroom. The M-80 exploded in the boy's hand.
• A 19 year old male lost his right pinky down to the first knuckle and the tips of the rest of his fingers when an aerial shell went off in his hand.
• An 8 year old girl received second and third degree burns to her leg when a spark from a sparkler she was holding ignited her dress.
• A 23 year old male lost his right eye and received burns to his face, arms and legs when a mortar blew up in his face, rather than launching into the sky.

CPSC staff has reports of 94 fireworks-related deaths between 2000 and 2013. Some incidents where fireworks caused death include:

• A 31 year old male died at the scene when he fired off an illegal 1.3 G aerial firework and the blast caused trauma to his head and chest.
• A 27 year old female lit a display type firework that she had purchased at a local party store. When the device didn't go off, she leaned over the device and it went off, causing fatal head injuries.
• A 4 year old boy discovered a bunch of fireworks that his father had hidden in a closet. The boy lit some of the fireworks, which caused a fire: the boy was unable to be rescued due to the heat of the fire.
• A 76 year old woman died from the smoke caused by a fire created in her house when a juvenile tossed firecrackers through her mail slot.
