Ok so what is the point in this?
.. It's a Gentilman's salute,.. one grabs the rim of ones top hat, raises it off the head ever so slightly and bows {bowes?} slightly in the direction of the one recieving the salute...

The gesture is intended to convey both respect and honor while maintaining one's own dignity.

Cheerio, chap, this has been a quick lesson in proper mannerisms. I most certainly hope this clarifies the phrase "Hat's off!" so that you may in turn use it to your advantage.

Cheers!

lol... I knew what it meant. I was just being the goof that I am. In a post where I have a smilie such as I did ( ) then it means I'm being sarcastic or something along those lines. I got a good laugh when I saw you explaining what 'hats off' meant.
