Spam head

[HeyWayne]

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.

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

Monty pythonesque methinks!

[tootles]

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!!........
(i love it here, no 'elf and safety and social services!)

Just found this - for those that don't remember Tefal heads...

YouTube - Tefal Deep fat frier advert 1980s (1988)

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

[SlugLobber]

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