carrot tops
Orange-haired people, slangily
Carrot tops are the feathery green leaves that sprout from the top of a carrot root.
Though often discarded, they're edible and can be used in pestos, salads, or as an herb garnish.
The phrase also serves as a mildly teasing nickname for people with red or orange hair, referencing the bright color of the carrot itself.
Some kid called me carrot top in middle school and it stuck.
