This was an unpublished entry that had been lurking with the other drafts.

A couple of years ago, when I was working with autistic children, I learned the versatility of using “head” as part of a compound word. The children were absolute masters. A small selection:

• poo-poo head
• Barbara head
• shoe head
• chair head
• silly head
• birthday head
• sugar head
• bye head
• pizza head
• straw head
• puckle head (no idea what that is)
• five minutes head
