Hardhats

/ˈhɑrdˌhæts/ noun

Definition

Plural of hardhat; multiple protective helmets or workers who wear them.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'hardhat' formed by adding '-s'. Can refer either to the physical helmets or colloquially to construction workers themselves.

Kelly Says

The term 'hardhat' became slang for construction workers in general, and by extension for working-class people—it's a cultural marker that carries both pride and sometimes stereotypes.
