Wall to wall
Euphemisms are fun in general, and I've always enjoyed those for artificial hair. Hair piece is the most obvious and least interesting Toupee, from the French for "top" has jaunty, kind of Eurotrash feel to it. Wig is just kind of a funny word and has the fun association "wigged out," which I'm not sure if it comes from the kind of wig you wear on your head, but it's still a good and useful description of someone who's unhinged. But my favorite is rug. That evokes some terrific mental images. I saw a guy today who could have been the inspiration for that one. It really looked like he was wearing a rug made out of human hair on top of his head. I always wonder if someone wearing something like that thinks they're fooling anyone...
