It is extremely frustrating to me that people use the insult 'carrot top' to describe people with red hair because carrot tops are green thank you for listening and another thing red hair is rarely actually red also red onions are clearly purple who is naming all this stuff.....
I thought "carrot top" meant a very physically unstable (inebriated?) person, because every time I've tried to spin a carrot on its tip, it just falls over straight away.
I'd never heard it used like this
Neither have I - it just seemed like a ridiculous, yet semantically plausible, interpretation.
