ELI5: Why the hell does Yankee Doodle call his hat "Macaroni" after he sticks a feather in it?

Seriously though those lyrics never made sense to me.

EDIT: Wow, front page. Definitely taking shots for this.

Macaroni was a particularly grand, elaborate, and effeminate fashion trend popular among young English men at the time of the Revolutionary War. The song, which was originally an English jibe at the American colonialists, suggests that the colonialists were so naive, or out-of-touch with contemporary trends, as to believe that putting a feather in their hat was the same as "macaroni".
