Basically it's thought of as "unruly." Normally as in hair. I
only used dreadlocks as an example of one version. Ask any
american except Jill and they will say the same. It's common in
the USA.

And of course, we all know that nappy is a diaper in the UK and
probably many places.

Know what my local indians used for "nappies/diapers" hundreds of
years ago? Spanish moss.
