Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Scrambled eggs (American English) or scrambled egg (British English) is a slang term for the typically leaf-shaped embellishments found on the visors of peaked caps worn by military officers and (by metonymy) for the senior officers who wear them. The phrase is derived from the resemblance that the emblems have to scrambled eggs, particularly when the embellishments are gold in color. Today the scrambled eggs" emblem, in one form or another, have been adopted by the majority of the world''s navies. Exceptions include the French Navy and Italian Marina Militare, which use embroideries on the officers'' cap bands to indicate seniority. Although the use of the term is principally military, some civilians (such as merchant ship captains) have similar embellishments on the peaks or visors of their hats."
