My dad, ex Navy, used to refer to a certain type of hat as an "Ikee Mo" hat.

Was out with my sister the other week and she called her husband's hat an "Ikee Mo" hat and then said "dad used to say that, what is Ikee Mo?", so when I got home I googled it:-(
I'd never, ever heard of it before then. Needless to say I text her and suggested we don't use said term in the future
