Term used by british paratroopers when speaking of any other regiment. Since almost all of them wear hats for parade etc. The Royal Irish wear dossbags on their heads as an exception.

Craphat is synonymous to: hat, hiraldo, haribo and harry (since he is also a hat)

Para Reg recruits are referred to as Joebags, not craphats. They might wear a cuntcap for a while but never a craphat.

Recruits might be “motivated” or “encouraged” to work harder so as to not drop out and have to become a craphat.

Those that stick with the programme and become members of the regiment are therefore automatically hateful towards weakness. It cannot be allowed to exist. Hence the hate for other regs, nothing personal harry.

All those cooks and clerks in the brigade that might wear a maroon beret are still hats, and horrendous ones at that.

7RHA(para) that like to call themselves 7PARA are also hats.

A maroon beret is therefore NOT the same as THE maroon beret or the maroon machine, maroon lid.

Invented in Borat's movie. It is said, when something great happens.

Military slang used by members of the parachute regiment to denote what they class as lesser regiments.
Taken from the fact that they wear the coveted Maroon beret that no-one else wears.

Military Slang (usually used by Para's) to describe either Territorial Recruits, Regular Soldiers or Raw Recruits.

A person who is below the same social class, standing or background as ones self. Originally used within the armed forces

1.Crap placed upon ones head.
