Actually, I'd say that Steve is closer to "the origins" of the term...the derrogatory intent came later. Just 180 degrees OPPOSITE of "Deadhead"...which STARTED as a derrogatory term and evolved into an endearment...because those who WERE described as "Deadheads" TOOK it as a compliment, in SPITE of and in the face of how it was intended. And, we see where it has gotten.
So, for those who take offense at the "chiffonhead" label...toss aside the offense and wear the moniker proudly...you deserve it. I used to be one YEARS before the term was coined...so, from 1975 to about 1983 were my "chiffonhead" years...I'm proud of 'em.
