There's lot of definitions for red hat, and is often used without explanation. It's all about context.

Most recently and most frequently it's a reference to Donald Trump's infamous "Make America Great Again" MAGA red hat.

Ironically on the left wing, red is the traditional color of communism. The same red beret worn US airborne troopers were also worn by militant socialists or union organizers. Hugo Chávez, president of Venezuela from 1999 until his death in 2013, was called a red hat.

Pre-World War II, pacifists and union organizers were called red hats. The "Red Hat Acoustic Music Club" celebrates this usage.

Red hat can be used as a reference to the Bloods criminal gang, such as Jay-Z "What's Free" song.

I see her in the crucifix, my mind begins to slip. My love had fallen right to a T.

406

Most likely if it's "406" on tshirt, it means a telephone area code, so person is from Montana.

Less likely, and somewhat dated, it's from Zombieland, a 2009 American post-apocalyptic horror comedy film. The main actor lives in an apartment complex, and has a crush on a woman in apartment 406. She turns into a zombie, and his first encounter with a zombie. He eventually killed her with the lid the tank of his toilet.

Very unlikely it's "406" the error code returned by an Internet server meaning Not Acceptable.

full boat

"Full boat" means something is completed, or can not contain anything more.

If you're told to pay full boat, it means you pay for the complete service. Even if it's immediately cancelled, you pay 100%.

If you arrive somewhere, and told it's a full boat, it means you cannot attend.

In poker, it means full house. It's a bit inaccurate to call it a full boat, since there are three hands that can beat it, but you're likely to go a lifetime before seeing a "Four of a kind", "Straight flush" or "Royal flush."
From the TV show Barry, when an acting class is cancelled because of a death.
"This class counts.
Stepping away from the class is, in itself, a lesson.
So there are no rain checks, is my point.
Okay, everyone pays full boat for today."

In a poker game:
"Read it and weep. Full boat"

"Hi guys, can I get a ride home? Sorry, full boat"

hip pocket

"Hip pocketed" means keeping anything around for easy access.

A technician may keep a Swiss Army knife in their hip pocket, just in case.

It does imply the person carrying the thing has complete control of it, so if someone's in you hip pocket, it means they are in complete control of another person.

It's become popular in Hollywood for an agent to "hip pocket" an aspiring actor or writer.

The talent may say an agent is "hip pocketing" them. It's not the best or optimal professional relation, but as they say "something is better than nothing."

A producer sends a script to an agent, if the agent doesn't have a client that fits the role, he may give a "hip pocketed" actor the script, and a verbal guarantee that the script was authorized by the producer.

For a writer, it is reversed. You informally give an agents scripts. If a producer asks for a particular idea, the agent may give the producer the writer's script.

If the actor gets the role or the writer sells his script, they sign paperwork and become a client. If not, the agent may continue "hip pocketing" you, sticking to verbal agreements only.
It sucks to live in LA. I'm 30 years old, and agents keep hip pocketing me.

zandpa

Combination of the drug Zanax/Xanax and Grandpa. It's an old guy who looks good. Simalar to "a silver fox", but more street cool.

Coined by late night host Stephen Colbert, when talking about "Faceapp", a dodgy Russian phone app which creates an aged version from any photo.
20 Jul 2019, Stephen Colbert monologue

The biggest trend buzz this week is the social media craze "FaceApp." You upload a photo of yourself and it shows you what you'd look like way older. Everyone is doing it, including me. Got to say "Not bad. Hello Zandpa."

Now this is the only fun thing to happen this week, so of course there's a nefarious dark side...

Summary: Russians own all your personal information on your phone legally forever.

cough break

It's a cliche that defense lawyers signal their testifying clients they are giving a bad answer by coughing.

When a client starts giving bad but usually truthful answers, their lawyer may start coughing harder and harder to create a cough break.

It's so common that judges will warn defense lawyers about a cough break.
Donald Trump's chief of staff Mick Mulvaney used a cough break to signal Trump "hey, shut up about possibly releasing your tax returns."
