Is there such a word as...

[Jinglepot]

barnet --which is to do with a head of hair-- I thought it did mean this but doubts have been cast so I'm hoping someone can enlighten me. ( I really want to be able to say," there, I knew it was a real expression!")

Hope someone can answer before I'm moved to oblivion!

Thanks

In the same vein the derivation of Berk

Rhyming slang for Berkshire Hunt.

Well............. I never knew that !

But you're right

Berk, burk, (slang) noun a fool.

ORIGIN: Short for Cockney rhyming slang Berkeley Hunt, for c**t
