Get the Deadlocs mug.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.

Get the deadlocers mug.A Dreadneck is NOT a Wigger nor are they hateful. Dreadnecks are similar to Deadnecks (Greatful Dead following Rednecks) except that they're more like Rastas. They smoke herb, and are nice towards all people, One Love. They're Southern Country boys who live by the Golden Rule and are turned Hippie. Their girlfriend is probably a vegetarian but they live for deer season and can hit a 8-point buck from 50-yards.
