[FRANKIE]

Frankie, in the good old upper crust days of England, aka the "British Empire" players of international football games used to be given an actual head cap to celebrate the event, to day it is a medal and a trophy, but it still gets called being capped.

Unlike the Italian / Bronx version of being capped you may be familiar with........

I thought that was getting "wacked".
