In the first half of the 20th century, this was a hat synonymous with manly style. It was about looking cool without appearing juvenile.

In present times, the fedora is a trademark of the socially inept beta male. He is attempting to distance himself from pop culture with the distinct style of past fashion. But he captures none of the suave, and only comes off looking like an oblivious, pompous fool. This is especially the case when it's a low-quality fedora coupled with unfashionable clothes and an unkempt appearance.

Modern fedora-wearers are typically associated with the *chan internet culture and Asperger's Syndrome (aspie).

A hat that went from the sure sign of an early 1900's tough guy, to the sure sign of a 1980's and onward loser who is desperately seeking for a style to call their own (and ruining everything they touch in the process).

Definition inspired by epicurus's words.

It is seen as the ultimate status symbol of the neckbeards, a hat that contains powerful information, which is coded in the motherboard, located in the liner tip of the aforementioned hat. Information such as when wil be the next cringey event (the one that's nearest to their actual location at the time), a manual of how to preserve the neckbeard in a world full of friendzoned comrades and even an almost infinite database of quotes about atheism and obscure internet forums.

It represents the class of the wearer, which is ranged from Private Neckbeard to General Brony Master. These ranks can be escalated by the wearer of the fedora by purchasing many different styles, giving them a name, and thus, reaching a far more excruciating level of stupidity (which they associate with being "edgy".

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
