I don’t know what “zipperhead” means, but assumed he didn’t either and was too lazy to Google. 😀
I only know from Gran Torino.
I've heard the term before but other than being an general insult don't know what it meant and had to look it up.
Google says it either Canadian military slang referring to Royal Canadian Armoured Corps or a racial slur for a person of East Asian decent.
No idea how/why Dan is trying to apply this term to Lindsay Graham? :dunno:
 
I always thought it referred to the marks a tank left on someone when it ran them over.

Wikipedia said that was one possible origin for the East Asian racial slur; referring to the zipperlike pattern when a tank or jeep ran over a Vietnamese. The other origin it referenced was a Vietnamese soldiers skull being split open like a zipper when shot in the head
 
That’s a disturbing take…

Etymology 2​

Coined by US soldiers during the Vietnam War, apparently from zipper +‎ head. The semantic motivation is unclear. One theory is that the Vietnamese were so called because their heads would split open in zipper-like fashion if they were shot in the right way; another is that zipper-like tracks would be left on them if they were run over by jeeps or tanks.

Definition and citation doesn’t make it any less disturbing..,

Some stupid shit you read somewhere and then mispronounced. Zippo raid and zipperhead are two different things. Neither of which you have any first hand experience with.

Also you don’t get to call anyone stupid. Because when you look up retarded lop of shit in a dictionary, it’s just a picture of you. 😉
