Like if your boss has B.O. and you give him some deodorant for his birthday.
Or if someone in your office has bad breath and you give them a tooth brush and some breath mints.
The meaning behind these gifts are very obvious.
But maybe some are not so obvious. Like what about when someone gives you a rubber mallet for your birthday and it is clearly marked "Deadhead Mallet".
Is something being implied here?
According to Archie Bunker (All in the Family T.V. show--1970's) Meathead means "Dead from the neck up." Archie always called his sou-in-law Meadhead. Could "Deadhead" be a synonym for "Meathead"? And when the Deadhead mallet is especially one of very good quality, does that imply an especially dead head?
No reason. Just wondering.
[ Actually, I really like the mallet. It is a good one and I will put it to good use. And because it is "bounce resistant" it will not bounce too far when I hit my head with it. So, thanks for the fine tool.]

LOL! That's so hilarious, Dad! We never even noticed that when getting the mallet, wrapping it, or sending it off. Glad you like it...don't hurt yourself when you bounce it off your head. :)
PS - Nothing was implied in the giving of that gift. :)
