toque courthouse mailbox
| Creator: | |
| Language pair: | French to English |
| Definition / notes: | The toque was originally just the name of the cap that attorneys wore, however it came to designate the name of the box in which their hats were kept at the courthouse, in which mail could be left for them. Now, when used in conjunction with a number, it refers to an attorney's private mailbox at the courthouse. (Note: a term other than "mailbox" might be preferred in British English.) |
