Shine head

noun SHINE-hed mild

A bald head, or a person with one — the 'shine' being the gleam of a hairless scalp. Usually teasing or descriptive rather than cruel, 'shine head' points out baldness the way 'picky-picky' points at rough, uncombed hair or 'egghead' at a smooth crown. A bald man might be nicknamed for it in good humour.

  • Di sun a bounce off him shine head.

    The sun is bouncing off his bald head.

  • Dem call him shine head fi years.

    They've called him bald-head for years.

  • Mi a go shave it clean, full shine head.

    I'm going to shave it clean, fully bald.

'shine' (gleam) + 'head'. See [[egghead]], [[picky-picky]].

A bald head/person; usually teasing rather than harsh.
