Some good stuff there, but I thought
a. With wigs often made of horse hair, due to the shortage of blonde horses,
wigs were expensive and the bigger (and dearer) the wig, the
richer and more powerful the wearer.
b. The "man" in Chairman came from the Latin "manere" to hold.
c. Losing (or gaining) face is an expression from the Orient.
Damn, another research session.
