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
