Help me out, guys (and gals for those who still see 'guys' as gendered).  I'm
very lost on this 'toboggan' business.  Are there two 'toboggan' meanings?
If so, are they:

a.) a sock-cap type of hat to keep you warm while you use...
b.) a sled.

This is what I thought they were.  I was laughed at by everyone.  Apparently,
no body but my family knows the (a) version.  Can anyone validate my poor
internal lexicon?  Or am I still crazy?
