In Chinese usage, the cuckold (or wittol) is said to be “戴綠帽子” dài lǜmàozi, translated into English as ‘wearing the green hat’. The term is an allusion to the sumptuary laws used from the 13th to the 18th centuries that required males in households with prostitutes to wrap their heads in a green scarf (or later a hat).

    Ohhhhhhh, please nobody make blue or orange hats bad.

    I mean, orange is ALREADY a bad hat to wear, but it’s not political. It’s just the Browns are…just so…so bad…for so very long.

    But at least it’s not assosiated with trump!

      Wouldn’t it make perfect sense to associate it with Trump? He’s orange, his diaper’s brown, he’s got the Browns color scheme and losing record down, he’s grungy but not in a good way (sorry Cleveland, never actually been, love you tho Drew Carey), nobody likes him, etc…?
