"nappy-headed hos"



m-w.com tells me what 'ho' means. But what's 'nappy'? None of
the meaning from m-w.com seem to fit.

Main Entry: 1nap¡Ppy
Pronunciation: 'na-pE
Function: noun
Etymology: obsolete nappy, adjective, foaming
chiefly Scottish : LIQUOR; specifically : ALE

Main Entry: 2nappy
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural nappies
Etymology: English dialect nap bowl, from Middle English, from
Old English hn[AE]pp; akin to Old High German hnapf bowl
: a rimless shallow open serving dish

Main Entry: 3nappy
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural nappies
Etymology: napkin + 4-y
chiefly British : DIAPER 3

Main Entry: 4nappy
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): nap¡Ppi¡Per; -est

But I can see how he can be fired just by calling some nice
college students 'hos'.
