Very nice.

Why do we wood turners call a bowl with a lid a box?
I don't know. I don't usually follow the crowd, but this time I did. 🤷‍♂️
Just a quick thought popped into my head. When fancy hats were in fashion, they came in ... what was called a hat box. It was round with a lid. And it carried over? I love the etymology of words and phrases. I may have to look into that.
