A drug user or addict. Hophead is an umbrella term for users of everything from cocaine to marijuana (or 'tea' - which is a jazz era term, not one that originated with the Beats as is erroneously noted elsewhere @ the Urban Dictionary) to benzedrine (aka 'bennies'/amphetamine). The term sprang from the early jazz scene in 1920's/30's America.
Decades later, beer aficionados appropriated the term to refer to themselves (with a wry tip of the hat to it's original meaning).
Mezz Mezzrow, an early marijuanadealer, smoked his own product and was himself a hophead.
in the Caribbean the definition of "hothead" is one who gets really angry, "pissed" or agitated very quickly and easily and if messed around with or you pick trouble with is ready for any thing(like fights)
They're a great keeper. And all the memories you've had with them, nobody cant bare to not erase it. Hohenadels are so rare you'd be lucky to even meet one. Meeting one is like meeting a greek god from the heavens from above.
