Hi, I'd like to know the meaning of this expression. The context is the following:
"The hair on its head was swept back in a gruesome parody of a teenager's d.a"
Thanks a lot. Rip
A "d a" is a hairstyle, look here: d a - Google Search
As you see from the first photograph in bhai's link, the haircut, from the back, is similar in appearance to the rear end of a duck - the duck's a***
So that's a da, Ripley, not a.d. or d.a.
Thanks
