I think it came from when a VC was shot in the head by a high powered gun, his head would split apart and look sort of how a pair of pants looks when unzipped. Zipperhead because you could zip his head back together.

It came about during the Korean War. Soldiers had run over some NVA soldiers and its said that the tire marks left on their heads and faces resembled a closed zipper.

Why did Marines call Vietnamese zipper-heads?

After watching Gran Torino which was a terrific movie, I wondered how the term zipper-head came to be. I found this explanation on the urbandictionary.com website. Used during Vietnam, Charlie was coined zipperheads because of the way a head looked after it had been hit with a high powered automatic weapon. The the typical rising machine gun would cause a face wound that looked like an open zipper on the face of some one from the viet kong. That gook looks like a Zipper Head because of the machiene gun fire.

How do you make a metal zipper slide easier?

Use a bar of soap. Rub it on both sides of the zipper, then work the head up and down. You might need to re-soap the zipper once or twice more and work the head up and down a few times to ensure the soap gets into the grooves. Works for me ;-) More information Try rubbing a pencil on it - graphite is a terriffic lubricant.

Can a hidden zipper be put back on track?

Yes, a hidden zipper can often be put back on track if it has come undone. Gently align the teeth of the zipper and carefully guide the slider back onto the track. If the slider is damaged or the teeth are misaligned, you may need to replace the slider or repair the teeth for the zipper to function properly again. Always handle the zipper delicately to avoid further damage.
