Leisure Class Hero's definitions
A person who wears a cock-eyed ball cap with a perfectly flat bill perched askew on one's head.
A fad originally started by black "urban youth" which denoted prosperity (because new hats have unformed bills). Leaving the price tags and labels on was common as well, indicating that the wearer could afford a new hat. This falls under the social phenomena of "nigger rich".
