A slaphead is usually a
guy who is so naturally bald he makes most bald people look positively hirsuit, but really it can be any guy who is definitely bald or going bald. A slaphead is so obviously bald that you just wish it was acceptable to point out the patently obvious by slapping them 5 or 6 times in rapid succession on their bald shiny
head. The term slaphead was actually introduced in the comedy of Benny Hill, a world famous
British comedian (deceased). Benny always used a sketch where a small bald
man would do something a little annoying to Benny Hill and benny would slap the guy a few times on his bald
head.
