A person with hair a shade of red or orange. My personal favourite hair colour, it is the rarest hair colour to possess. Around 1 in 50,000 people have red hair. A large number of males are particularly attracted to red-headed females, a lot having something of a fetish for them. Red-headed males get the shorter end of the stick, usually victims to bullying etc. They are also thought to usually have pale skin and freckles. True redheads additionally possess green eyes.
Immature people insult redheads, insults include 'ginger', 'fire-crotch' and 'carrot-top'. I also want to add to any redheads reading this, be proud of your hair colouring, it's hot~! (Excuse the pun)

Guy 1: "Wow, look at that redhead!"
Guy 2: "What a hottie, I've always had a thing for redheads."
Guy 1: "Me too."

A women usually classified to have hair inbetween blonde and auburn. There are very little who have it, and are usually never appreciated for the gorgeous hair. Blondes and brunettes are everywhere, but redheads are simply unique. Usually only truly loved if the opposite person is fun, others can't understand the beauty of a redhead.

A female person characterized by red hair, ranging from the lighter, fairy-like strawberry blonde; to the darker, seductive auburn. Most are born with green or blue eyes, and many have freckles. Pasty white skin is a common misconception. Usually thought to be quite attractive. Famous redheads include Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Kidman, and Lucille Ball.

Somebody with red hair, ranging from ethereal strawberry blond to sensuous dark auburn. Red hair is a recessive gene and often skips a generation in families.
Blue, green, or grey eyes and peaches-and-cream complexion often go hand-in-hand with red hair, often with freckles. Redheads almost always burn in the sun and are thus vulnerable to skin cancer.
While redheads are admired in the United States, in Britain there's a strange hostility to them; perhaps because of historic association of red hair with the Irish and Scottish (whose populations are porportionately 10% and 13% of natural redheads, respectively), "gingers" are often openly insulted and treated with disdain, plus there's the bizarre claim that "gingers have no souls" (although given the "comedian" Carrot Top, it's understandable).
Still, redheads are also stereotyped as fiery-tempered and very lustful. This is part of the adoration of redheaded women, although redheaded men don't get enough attention.

Depending on where one is, a redhead is often called "carrot top", "ginger", or "rusty"; the association with the "comedian" is unwanted, "ginger" can be comedic or insulting, and "rusty" hardly sounds like a compliment.
