Tin Foil Hat Brigade

A person who wears a tin foil hat that is made from one or more sheets of aluminium foil, or a piece of conventional headgear lined with foil, often worn in the belief or hope that it shields the brain from threats such as electromagnetic fields, mind control, and aliens.
Johnny thinks aliens helped build the pyramids, guess he's a member of the tin foil hat brigade.

Gold Plated Tin Foil Hat

The hat one wears when they've gone so far into talking about random nonsense that they freak out if you call them out on it.

Different from the common tinfoil hat in regards to the wearer's randomness.
1 - "Goddamnit, Brendan is going off randomly about some nonsense again... He's got a gold plated tin foil hat on and is babbling about how insane it is that gold particles are just floating freely around us."

2 - "Did you see Brendan's text in the group chat, he is definitely wearing a gold plated tin foil hat today; he legit said, 'you guys ever rip and have to evacuate the area because the methane concentration is over normal bodily levels'. On top of that, he even freaked out after I asked him if he was wearing a gold plated tin foil hat."

3 - "Brendan freaked earlier after I told him to chill because he was talking at 100+ MPH about random nonsense. I'm also pretty sure I heard him say something about a gold plated tin foil hat he lost."

tinfoily

adj. - having characteristics in common with paranoid delusions. The word comes from paranoid people wearing tinfoil hats to keep the aliens from reading their mind, or to keep the Illuminati from using mind control rays on them, etc.
"You have to sign this petition! It's to get Congress to require all envelopes to be self-adhesive. When you lick an envelope flap, the Post Office runs it through a scanner that takes a DNA sample. Then they match that up with your name based on the return address. Homeland Security claims to be keeping the information to know how best to protect Americans from a gene-based terrorist attack, but if the wrong people came into power, they could use it for eugenics and put everyone with a certain chromosome combination into concentration camps! So will you sign the petition?"

"Um...I don't know, dude. Sounds a little tinfoily to me."

tinfoil hat

Propoganda designed to cover up a massive government conspiracy. Begining in the late 1970's, the United States government tried to cover up its radio-wave thought-control program by circulating a false rumor that people could shield their minds from government intrusion by wearing a tinfoil hat. In truth, a tinfoil hat only improves reception and makes it easier for the government to read your mind. Speak truth to power!
Take off that tinfoil hat, you fool, the black helicopters are coming!
