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.
