conks
Hits the head
Conks is the plural of conk, a word with several unrelated meanings.
A conk can be a blow to the head or the nose itself: He got conked on the head.
To conk out is to fall asleep suddenly or stop working: The engine conked out.
A conk is also a shelf fungus growing on trees, or a hairstyle in which tightly curled hair is chemically straightened—from Congolene, a brand of hair straightener.
