Dreadsock

Gaming term from the Warhammer 40,000 hobby.

A Dreadsock is a standard sock with a (metal) 40K Dreadnought inside. The Dreadsock is then used to 'beat the stupid/cheeze/beard/shit' out of people.

In general useage, "Dreadsock" is usually suggested to emphasise how stupid a situation is.

Note: it is not advisable to actually hit someone with a real Dreadsock - it can cause serious injury, and get you in a lot of trouble!
"This guy at my local club insists on using illegal rules combos and claiming it's legal! We've tried time and again to make him learn the proper rules! How do I get through to him?"
"Take one Dreadsock, and apply as many times as needed to make him stop."

dreadlocks

Also called dreads, it is a style created by allowing the hair to matt into locks.

Although popular myth gives Rastafarians credit for inventing the style, it is almost as old as humanity itself. Dreadlocks or similarly matted styles have been worn from Africa all the way to India, Australia, and even Papua New Guinea.

Indians call them "jata", and they are generally worn by adherents of Shiva.

Some Austro Aboriginies call them "goonut" or "goonat". It was a popular style around the area now known as Botany Bay in pre colonial times.

The term "dreadlocks" being used for this style, however, did originate with the Rastafarian movement. To them it symbolizes many things including the rejection of conventional western mainstream beauty standards, and the dread some may feel when confronted with the true natural self.

There is some debate as to whether matted locks that are "well manicured" should be called dreadlocks, since they are not natty and often require consistent maintenance and a higher degree of perceived vanity.
I need to tighten up my dreadlocks once a month.
You shouldn't pop your dreadlockss when they're dry.

dreadlocks

This is a hairstyle popularized by the Rastafarians (Bob Marley for example) but dating back as long as the existence humanity. The idea is to let your hair grow naturally, then braid them into matted "locks", and wear them in a natty and dapper style. The term "dread" is often misunderstood in this sense as meaning terror/fear as it is commonly used today, but it is also archaic term which means "to hold in awe or reverence". The Rastas, as well as other cultures, wear their dreads with pride of their natural roots (symbolized by their hair growing eternally from the mind and soul). The true veneration of growing dreadlocks is the inspiration of a sublime spirituality and respect for one's true self.
Keep your culture, don't be afraid
Of the vulture, grow your dreadlocks
Don't be afraid of the wolfpack

Rastaman live up, Bingyman don't give up

-Bob Marley, "Rastaman Live Up"
