Just being a touch picky here, but a pan head screw can also be named a
cheese headed screw. Just imagine either a full round of cheese, or a
kitchen pan upside down and both have a screwdriver slot in the top,
then you have a pan head, or a cheese head screw depending on where you
come from.


Sorry, but no. Cheese head screws have straight sides, pan head screws
don't. For example, see:
