Definition of newsboy cap

From Casey, for About.com

Definition: The newsboy cap is a flattish-on-top-with-a-bill style of hat worn by little newspaper delivery boys back in the '20s. In more recent years, hip models and other girls-about-town adopted them as part attention-getter, part cover-up.
Pronunciation: news-boy
