Gold-hat 

Individual working for a company or team that is deceiving, intentionally withholding of pertinent information, falsifies documents, or attempts to sway one’s decision with a “shit eating grin”. Individual who sets up their subordinates for failure by not properly training them, then blames them for any mistakes.
Derived from the deceptive practices of superintendents/project managers of contracting company Hensel Phelps and the gold colored hard hats they wear.

I asked her if the work had been inspected before they closed up the wall, but she just smiled- What do you expect, she’s a gold-hat.

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."
