carrot-top

Fiery-haired person, informally

A carrot-top is a person with red or orange hair, from the resemblance to the feathery green tops of carrots—which are themselves orange.

The term is mildly teasing but rarely hostile: The carrot-top kid from down the street.

Also used as an adjective: a carrot-top comedian.
