"He's not just a hat rack."
The hat quotes come from all different places. Movies I see, books I read, research, and personal experience. This one was from an unlikely source. One that I don't usually pay attention to, but is often within hearing. Especially during the playoffs.
Yes, you guessed it, basketball. Half time commentary. This statement was made by Charles Barkley, who has a particular voice and way of talking. Sometimes I can't help listening to him and my ears always perk up at the word hat. I had to have my husband explain this one to me.
It means you are smart. There is substance under that place you hang your hat. You have a brain. So if your guy is not just a hat rack, bake these tea shortbread cookies, sit down and have a nice intelligent conversation. Not about basketball.
