A.Word.A.Day--chaplet
1. A wreath or garland worn on the head.


"What was on Hannibal's mind as he drove his elephants over the Alps? Looking good, apparently, because on Hannibal's head was a wig, which he wore into battle to cover his lack of locks. Julius Caesar used his chaplet for the same purpose, the comb-over having not yet been discovered." Jack Reed, Men Want to Look Good, Too, St. Petersburg Times (Florida), Jan 28, 2001.

Vanity, thy name is not woman!
