I’m very frustrated. I still don’t understand where the word nappy came from? I thought that was the Englishman’s way of saying diaper. What does it mean and why is it derogatory?
Funny Imus is fired over something half the world doesn’t understand. A pity the Americans don’t speak English.
Now you got me there. I don’t know where the actual word comes from.
I used to coach some black girls, who ran from the rain, telling me it would make their hair “nappy”, or fuzzy and uncombable. They would drive 50 miles to a large city to go through very painful combouts and braiding.
