a derogatory term for an employee of a textile mill, particularly in the Hill Country of the American South. The term came into usage in the early twentieth century. Lintheads were and are primarily white southerners that are either the progeny of or themselves tenant farmers.

Get the Linkhead mug.Combination of "pinhead" and "(Jeremy) Lin," point guard for the New York Knicks, it refers to a person who knows nothing about basketball but makes outrageous statements about Lin and the Knicks after seeing little to no basketball before Lin's breakout success.
"Jeremy Lin is the best point guard in the NBA and he's going to lead New York to the title this year."
