The other definitions of this word are inherently wrong as they insinuate that "arabs" wear turbans, which is incorrect. Some people of arab descent may wear some form of headgear to protect themselves from the sand in the desert, but the majority of arabs and muslims do not wear turbans. A turban is worn by those who follow sikhism and is one of the pillars of the
religion. Referring to someone as a towel
head (in the
U.K at least) is derogetory and
will usually be directed to a sikh man with a turban on his
head. I can only assume that the other two people who have created a definition are american and therefore stupid.
Racistboy1: oi did you see that f***ing towelhead walkin past our school?
Racistboy2: yeh f***ing pakis and towelheads are all wankers, plus they look stupid with that thing on their
head.
Sikh person(on overhearing): actually you chav
scum, the turban is an integral part of our culture, how dare you sully our
religion with your filthy insluts.
Racistboy1: dickhead(runs away)
