I'll eat my hat Meaning in English
expression
释义
This is a humorous way to say you are absolutely sure something won't happen. You use it when you strongly doubt something, not because you really plan to eat your hat.
用法与细微差别
Very informal and humorous; used mostly in British or older American English. Not literal—no one actually eats their hat. Common after a statement you believe definitely won't come true: 'If X happens, I'll eat my hat.' Do not use in formal writing.
