Beanie, Beanie

While the beanie is considered a fairly humble piece of clothing, it has been elevated to the status of regional art in Alice Springs, Australia- which is claimed by some to be the Beanie Capital of the world.

Some English-speakers, especially military, refer to beanies as watch caps.

Beanies do sometimes have a very small brim, less than an inch deep, around the brow front.

At some institutions there was often a contest in the fall, such as an athletic competition between the freshman and sophomore classes, the winning of which would relieve that year's freshman class from having to wear the stigmatizing beanie.

Today, computer savvy and other technically proficient people are sometimes pejoratively referred to as propeller heads thanks to the one-time popularity of the propeller beanie.
