Are you the “head genius” lighting up every conversation, or the “head troublemaker” whose ideas might just be a little too bold for comfort?
Marrakech – In Morocco, the word “Ras” meaning head isn’t just reserved for, well, the actual head on your shoulders. It’s a way to define people, but with a twist.
It gets paired with adjectives to paint a more colorful picture of someone.
“His head is small” sounds like an insult, right? Nope. It’s a compliment, meaning he’s a fast learner.
But don’t get too cocky, because if “your head is squared,” let’s just say geometry isn’t working in your favor — it means you’re not the brightest bulb.
Meanwhile, the stubborn ones? They get “His head is hard,” which, honestly, feels like the most perfect description of someone who just won’t budge.
Then there’s the intellectual hierarchy. “His head is full” describes someone cultured and educated, the kind of person you’d want on your trivia team.
But beware of the “empty heads” — the ones who don’t bring much to the table beyond a blank slate.

And let’s not forget the poetic tragedy of the “head of troubles.” That’s the guy who can’t catch a break, perpetually followed by a cloud of misfortune.
Oh, and if someone “belongs to his head”? That’s not a philosophical statement; it just means he’s single, fending for himself in a sea of coupledom.
In Morocco, your head doesn’t just think — it tells the world exactly who you are.
You’re not just “smart” or “dumb” in Morocco; you’re the “head smart” or the “head foolish,” and suddenly, you’re more than just an adjective, you’re a whole category.
