I wonder what the origin of that expression is? Anyone know?#13: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 3, 2012 [SPOILER]
I think it had to do with boxing - before it was organized. The prize-fighters would go from village to village fighting any comers - who would signal their willingness by throwing their hat into the ring.
(Altho I'm sure some had theirs tossed in for them - and then they'd have to go in if they wanted it back...)
