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: 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
