Chapeau 

The literal word comes from the French, and it means 'hat'.

Aside from meaning 'hat' it is also used when giving someone respect, a short way of saying 'hat off' or 'I'm so impressed, I take my hat off'.

I can swim 600 feet under water

Chapeau! Something I'd never be able to do even with training!

Chapeau 

In the land of the frogs, 'chapeau' translates to 'hat.' To say 'Chapeau!' is to metaphorically take one's hat off to one's peer(s).

'Chapeau!' can have meanings as varied as 'Hello!'; 'Yes'; and 'Well done!' Either way, it must only be used in the presence of those in whom you hold high esteem; in other words, only in the presence of true scholars and not that of the so-called 'yobs.'

STUDENT: '... and that it why the Weimar Republic collapsed.'

TEACHER: 'Chapeau! What a thesis!'

OR...

FRIEND 1: 'Salutations Mr. X! How are you today?'

FRIEND 2: 'Ah, yes, what a pleasure it is to encounter you again. *COUGHS* Chapeau!'

James Chapeaux

A synonym for a jimmy hat. This term is often used at haughty universities such as Vanderbilt. Elitist private institutions of learning much prefer this proper noun over the more commonly used words uttered by the laborer hordes.
