baldhead
Smooth cranium person
A baldhead is a person with a bald head—one who has lost their hair or has very little of it.
The term is straightforward description but can carry dismissive or mocking overtones depending on context: Some baldhead cut me off in traffic.
In Rastafarian usage, baldhead refers disparagingly to non-Rastafarians, especially those seen as part of the oppressive establishment.
