Thought to be a name for blonde children, (coming from the word used to describe flax rope); it actually is only fitting to children with hair so light, it is literally "white".
This color generally goes away between 2-5 yrs old.
Ex. I had fourchildren, all blue eyes, but only three of them were towheads.
A place in the middle of fucking nowhere in the wee county of Louth, Ireland where fuck all happens and you'd be more likely to get run over by a 97 year oldfarmer than to get murdered.
