Clothes But No Cigar

You know what I just realized?

Don.  Doff.    Don.  Doff.

D'oh!

I guess I should be happy I can read whole words at a time and not have to sound out each letter, but still …

If you're wondering what brought that on, it was reading Michael Kimmelman's piece on Bruno S., coming across the phrase "… which he peels away, as one doffs heavy clothing," and thinking that I wasn't sure if I had ever heard of anyone doffing anything besides a hat before.
