chrome dome

Hairless head, slang

Chrome dome is slang for a bald head or a bald person, referencing the shiny, reflective quality of a hairless scalp.

The term is mildly teasing but generally good-natured rather than deeply offensive.

Check out the chrome dome on that guy.

It occasionally appears in other contexts referring to anything dome-shaped and metallic or reflective.
