Hey... Can anyone tell me what the reference to "nappy headed" means, please.

AS you know we, South Africans, have our own racist lexicon; I'm not familiar with all this stuff in the US!

"Ho" is slang for prostitute and "nappy-headed" is a derogatory term for the hair of many black people.

^^^^^^ CB: "ho" has a semi-double meaning, the two meanings being related or overlapping.

Also, allegedly Santa Claus says it as a greeting, three times.
