    Coined during the korean war and became widely popular during the vietnam war. Referring to the way the head of an asian enemy tended to split open when shot in the middle of the forehead. This splitting is due to the frontal skull suture found in mongoloid bone structure. massive directed trauma to the forehead will often cause the skull to split along the suture line causing the head to appear as if opened by a zipper.

            A zipperhead is a [derogatory] term for [Asians]. [Mean] but funny at the same time.

                This term was started during the Vietnam conflict to describe a [Vietcong] tactic.
                After killing a GI in combat, the Vietcong split a soldiers head with a machete, then insert a live hand grenade with the pin removed. Replacing the helmet hides the [booby trap].
                When medics come to recover the dead, moving the body will cause the helmet to fall off and release the grenade, killing or maiming anyone in the immediate area.
                Zipperhead describes the mutilation that the Vietcong inflicted on [fallen soldiers].

                          Used as a derogatory label for someone that is light-headed enough (usually from drugs/drink) to figure out, get talking, and generally manipulate.
