When I was a teen, afros were “cool.” Does this mean that what used to be “cool” is now called “nappy”?
I think the nappy head is cut a lot shorter than an afro.
Nappy means kinky or bristly, like the top of a carpet. But, yes, that would be considered cool. As I said to someone else, if you called a girl “nappy headed” it could just as easily be a term of affection as abuse, depending on how you said it. Actually, the same with ho’s, although that might seem to be stretching it. But Emily Post’s Book of Manners doesn’t really apply.
