Why are blond little boys called towheads?

Flax or hemp that has been prepared for spinning was always referred to as Tow. Since it is pale in color,  somehow, the term started being used for boys with light hair, towhead.

It's just a nickname from a show or a movie if I recall. It is a ghetto name we use to be funny, to make fun of the different types of crazy ghetto names peple have

its a generic name for A man and a nickname for a men named John. \nits origin was as an alternate word for Soldier\nJust as we once called British Soldiers   Red Coats\nPeople once called Soldiers  "jacks" because they wore a syle of Coat known as a jacket. \n\nSailors were called Jack Tar's  because their Jackets were splotched with tar stains from the tar used to waterproof wooden ships.

Mmm, I think because they are associated with little boys, and grown adults find seeing a grown man in tighty whiteys strange, as if they still are little boys.\n\n\nI personally think they look goofy.  I'm Canadian tho lol

The band's name comes from two of frontman Darius Rucker's college choir friends, neither of whom was ever a band member. One, with a round face and glasses, was nicknamed Hootie because of his perceived owl-like appearance. The Blowfish also got his nickname from his facial appearance, in his case chubby cheeks.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hootie_and_the_blowfish

Hollywood made the image of blondes being dumb. I think most men find blondes as being more fun or wild; sometimes easy because of the personalities that come with blondes. It seems blondes get a lot of attention, therefore they are more outgoing. I don't have a preference for blondes, but I would take "smarts" over "dumb" anyday.

They are from the planet "Blondalack" and their mission is to take over the world by tricking people into believing they are naive and stupid. Beware the Blondes. They have an agenda I tell you!

Because they come in at a later maturation (supposedly) stage. In other words when they erupt, a child should be becoming a wiser/adult person. Not always the case though!

Eh, i'll take a shot at this without looking up backup information. My guess is that butthead came from a guy whos head looked like a butt? And stupid came from probably from a guy who had an IQ of 1 and was drooling and mumbling and splirted out "stupid!"
