Some PROFOUND word sound fi put pon yuh mind courtesy of a @loceducator reasoning about the origins of the word Dreadlocs 🤔🤔🦁🦁⚫️🔴🟢 ・・・ Dread, dreaded, dreadful. 3 different English words with different meanings. Locs mean a bunch of hair. If you scoop hair from the barber shop floor, that's a loc of hair. It is the same meaning as a pride of lions, a flock of birds, a loc of hair. Dreadlocks as a name is our heritage. We are fearless and to be feared, and we have locs. We are dread. Natty
