Robin Hood

An ingenious hairstyle for the folically challenged, whereby the gentleman (or lady) in question grows a large quantity of hair from the side of his (or her) head and, upon achieving the necessary length, scrapes said hair across his (or her) shiny bald centre-pate. This creates, at first glance, the illusion of a full crown of hair. This look is more commonly termed a 'comb-over'.

Origin: Sweden

Etymology - Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor -- thus you 'take' from the rich, plentiful locks that sprout from the lower scalp and 'donate' to the impoverished central scalp.

Jarod: Brian, I have to say that wig looks great on you!

Brian: Its not a wig, I went for a Robin Hood.

Jarod: That's great. You look amazing plus you probably saved upwards of 70 pounds by not forking out on one of those ridiculously expensive wigs you see nowadays
