  • Spam head

    Does anyone remember the phrase? Used to be used at the same time as slapping someone on the forehead - before the days of Tefal head.

    I'm having a moment.

    What would Vedder do?

    there's more than a whiff of Friday afternoon about that.

    At my school, it was traditional to greet anyone with an exposed forehead with a hard slap, accompanied by yelling "SLAPHEEEAAAAD" in their face.

    I have quite a high forehead and frequently felt a bit nervous.

      Yeah, I remember our kids calling people slaphead - especially their headmaster at school. Can't imagine where they learned to disrespect their elders though

          Still used here - by the teacher!!!!
          My boys sometimes have a substitute teacher who slaps the (bad) children on the forehead and calls them 'tete de jambon' (ham head - no right thinking Frenchman would be caught dead eating spam!!)
          In the UK that would be child abuse!!........

              Where I grew up it was 'Scone-head' - which meant you were seriously thick!

                Ooh! I remember the Tefal heads. We had 'Slaphead' at school, but I don't remember Spamhead. I do remember the song, though...
