Max Headroom 

Appeared first in 1985, last seen in 1988.

A pseudo computer generated parody of the embodiment of 1980s late night talk show hosts, and metaphor of a talking head.

Plastic-like appearance and usually stands in front of a backdrop of moving horizontal lines.

Was essentially the original troll, had a stuttering speech pattern and shilled for ‘New Coke’.
Person 1: I saw that one plastic looking guy on TV again.

Person 2: Oh that talking head? I love M-m-m-m-Max Headroom!

Refers to any upper-body article of clothing (i.e., blouse, t-shirt, nightgown, etc.) that has sufficient "excess looseness" in front of the wearer to allow someone's else's head to be tucked up in underneath so that said person can snuggle his/her head against the wearer's bare chest without the garment's having to be removed.
Snuggly guy: I love how Tiffany wears such a loose PJ top to bed; it's a really awesome "max headroom garment", in that I can easily slip my head underneath the hem and nuzzle up to her boobs while we sleep, even when it's too chilly in the bedroom for her to sleep "topless".
