useful chinese phrase of the day

One of my students got a haircut a few days ago. It made his hair sort of stick up and out and look a bit fluffy. I told him he looked nice, but another student was laughing and said he had "airplane head."

"Fēijī Tóu"  
*Pronounced "fay gee toe"

**Note: I don't suggest or condone going around calling people with fluffy hair "airplane head."

hehe. i LOVE it...perfectly descriptive. it is now in my vocab and will be used. :) thanks! (though i'll probably just stick with english until someone can tell me where the accents are or what the intonation is.)
