It's the same as "blow your top" I believe. Basically, it means lose control/go crazy.

The word you should have used in your question is "women", which is the plural form of "woman".\n\nFor some women, twirling of hair may be a gesture indicating flirting; for others, it may simply be an unconscious habit.

Well, we are talking about the Dark Side... and the Dark Side corrupts and twist... and that just goes to show that it doesn't affect only the spirit... it says "Kids, don't go to the dark side or you'll lose all your hair" :)

here you go \n\n\nMerchants hawking their "stuff," politicians pushing their agendas, the Media exploiting it all. It seems like there's always someone trying to *pull the wool over our eyes*.\nThe *wool* referred to, however, was once just slang for "hair," synonymous with the powdered wigs worn by gentlemen several centuries ago.\nThe most powerful ones with the most elaborate hairstyles became our first bigwigs. It was then no simple task for a *bigwig* to take an innocent stroll down a city street with young hooligans lurking around every corner. As a malicious act, a joke, or for purpose of thievery, they would often pull the wig (the wool) down over said gentleman's eyes, enabling them to make off with his purse in the process. hope this helps you

I don't think the phrase means the threats of a woman, I believe it means the propensity of a woman to speak too much. I think its similar to the saying: Loose lips sink ships.

This means Excited, and/or turning cartwheels to demonstrate one's excitement..\nMany people would recognise that meaning. What most wouldn't do is take time to consider that it makes no literal sense - after all head over heels is the normal posture. A version of the phrase originated in the 14th century as 'heels over head', which is really what we mean when we use it. The phrase evolved into head over heels much later as it was used in everyday speech without a great deal of thought.

The fashion for wigs began with the Bourbon kings of France. Louis XIII (1601 - 1643) went prematurely bald and took to wearing a wig. By the middle of the century, and especially during the reign of Louis XIV, The Sun King, wigs were virtually obligatory for all European nobility and 'persons of quality'.\n\nAt that time they were known in England as periwigs, which was shortened to wig by 1675.\n\nWigs were expensive to purchase and to keep in condition and were the preserve of the powerful and wealthy. Ostentation was the order of the day in Bourbon France and over time the wigs became bigger, often to the point of absurdity and requiring of scaffolding.\n\nIt isn't difficult to imagine how the term 'big-wig' emerged to refer to the rich and powerful.\n\nThe first record of this in print that I've found is G. Selwyn's 1781 'Letters in 15th Rep. Hist. MSS. Commission':\n\n"A new point of discussion for the lawyers, for our big wigs, for their Lordships."\n\nThis makes explicit the use of the term in relation to the British judiciary, who wore wigs in court - then and now.

It was back in the 16/17 Century when wigs were fashionable and piled high.  Ofocurse the richer people were the more they would spend on a wig. Things like head lice weere prevelanet so it would be wise to rlose hair to avoid it.  Wigs were never washed they were powdered to keep them bright.\n\nSo the term of mockery evolved for people with money as "big wigs".

It's an old English proverb.\n\nIt means if you dress up nice, it will make a better person of you (Clothes make the man, is another such proverb). For eg., if you wear a designer dress/ suit, it will make you look more classy than shabby clothes.\n\nI think the origin was Thomas Hardy's Tess of d'Ubervilles? AM not sure

I agree - it's the metal "decoration" you see in people's mouths (which, frankly, I think looks stupid...)\n\nIt can also mean to quiz or interrogate someone (ie - Why are you grilling me about where I was yesterday??)\n\nI've also occasionally used it heard to describe a woman's bust area (about as lovely a description as calling it a rack....)\n\nI would bet the song you heard was either meaning the metal in someones mouth or a woman's chest, or it was a play on words where they were going back and forth meaning both...
