“Nappy” is usually used to describe coarse hair belonging to someone of African descent. The term has always had a negative connotation behind it which dates back to the enslavement of Africans in America. A quick search on UrbanDictionary will reflect this notion. The words related to nappy are mostly derogatory; these words include: ugly, disgusting, gross, and dirty. Even amongst my classmates at a progressive school such as ASFA, “that’s nappy” has become a popular phrase to use when addressing something vile. |
