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

Robin Hood

The act of pulling the duvet over ones head tight like a hood going down on a guy or girl, being sure to keep the hooded legendary appearance dive in between the legs.
I was talking to my friend at the bar and he told me how he went full Robin Hood on this girl. I knew what he meant by the actions.

Guy: have you ever heard of Robin Hood?
Girl: I have green bed sheets, let's go back to my place.

Robin Hood

The practice ran by Welfare State, when goverment set the irrational (too high) taxes for workers and enterprises (the rich) to pay no-lifers, immigrant snowflakes, and parent's basement resident (The Poor)

Ponzi Scheme at it's finest
Robin Hood mechanism reminds me to Ponzi/Pyramid Scheme, but inverted (the rich must pay the poor)

If no one could pay the irrational taxes, such as due to natural disaster or pandemy like Coronavirus/COVID19, then a country will be doomed (collapse)

robin hood

A myth based on several people. In actuality, only one of the charactors on whom the stories are based ever gave to the poor, after taking a share for himself. Also, maid Marrian did not exist in the same time as any of them, and Robin was in fact very merry in the company of men in tights, nudge nudge wink wink.

Today, being a Robin Hood is all about taking from the haves, to deliver to the have nots. This is actually rather communist.
The government wants to take my hard earned money to give to foreigners who haven't done a day's work in their lives. They think they're robin hood or something. Well fuck them.
