Reply to TIL that the reason Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it 'macaroni' was because at one time macaroni was slang for something very fashionable or trendy by elephantsgraveyard
Macaroni wasn’t slang for fashionable it was a specific style with puffy clothes and makeup and big wigs (think pre Revolution France)
Source: I have a cooking channel on YouTube so I know macaroni.

Reply to comment by Different-Sympathy-4 in TIL New Hyde Park, NY is neither named for London’s famous Hyde Park or the upstate NY hamlet of Hyde Park. It is named for a Governor’s Wife. by theAusterityClinic
Did you watch Turn? They often refer to NY as York City. I wondered if the “new” came later to distinguish the two cities but I had trouble researching it.
