insult or compliment?

Hi, I’m at 13 mths and...Well, getting there.
While out walking yesterday I passed a gang of kids. You know that feeling when you know they’re just gonna say something? Well, the 'insult radar' was pickn' up a serious inbound blip. Anyways, as I got my back to them, sure enough one ignorant (in more ways than one) kid yells "Hippy!"
I've never been so happy :)...sniffle*
Thanks, just wanted to share.

compliment to you for having noticably grown your hair...
insult to them for revealing their level of ignorance.

Yeah I was passing a hair salon once, and some toothless hilly billy says "Gonna go get ya hair cut, hippie?"
I said "Yeah, soon as you get your teeth fixed, hill billy"
the old ones are the best

If I had ten quid for every time some kid called me a 'hippy' I'd be a rich, rich man.
I'll echo stinkfoot's comment and say it's certainly a compliment for you, but an insult for them.

Small people with narrow minds, limited intellect and no imagination...
Depressing, ain't it?

Thanks. That was taken last summer - it's longer now. At some point I'll have to get it evened up as the length is all over the place...
When did I last get it cut? I'm having trouble remembering... ;-)
