What is meant  by"He is talking out of the top of his hat?"?
87761
To talk through one's hat was a widespread phrase by the 1880's meaning to talk nonsense although it initially meant to lie.\n\nThe origins of the phrase are unclear. The two most common theories are that it referred to men in church who held their hats over their faces while pretending to pray. It might also be a reference to the emptiness of the hat above the head implying the speaker is speaking with an empty head. It might also be a reference to "he's talking off the top of his head" meaning without preparation or references.

I think it's called "God is Trying to Tell You Something".  I love that scene!

Couldn't tell you because I don't know what "dumbing her" means. My only guess is that, since "dumb" originally meant "silent or unable to speak" you mean that he is making her shut up. I dont know how that really works with your question, however.

In local speak, it means "Go Now!!" Said in the way an english speaking person would say "Get out of here now" or "Hurry up and go away"! Depends on the facial expression and inflection as to how quick you should move!

Because he just talks off the top of his head without regard to what the future may bring. I think he doesn't have a clue of what he's saying at any given time. It's just all random words, he just enjoys the sound of his own voice.

it means you hop around and face the back. When he says it again you hop around and face the front....

It is a lie.\nNot everything he says is a lie.  That doesn't necessarily mean that he always tells the truth.\nHe is just lying in this instance, hence he is not always lying.

Or maybe he wants to say that he is very confused, so he can't do at the moment what you have asked him for.\nOr...\nsorry, I do not cope very well with the interpretation of phrases in english, oh, believe me, it's a messed up situation!\n\nHope you appreciate the humor!\n\nKaterina

The idiom means that someone is talking big, but are they actually doing what they say or can do what they say.  Someone who brags about something, but it's not true. It is used in a variety of ways.\n\n"Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk"\n"If you are going to talk the talk, then walk the walk"\n"He not only talks the talk, he walks the walk"\n\nAll of them mean about the same thing.  It means saying it is one thing, but are they doing it as well.

It is impossible to know without the context. What's the whole sentence you find the phrase in?\n\nEdit: That really makes no sense. It's certainly not a frequently used abbreviation. Some more information would really be helpful.

Sound as if you need to talk.*\n\nMaybe alot of confusion can be worked out.
