I am really embarrassed to ask but…?
What does it mean when a person says that a child is a toe head? Ok I grew up in the Caribbean and did not have much interaction with Caucasians. I never even heard this term till about 4 years ago when I started working this job. I have a good idea but to embarrassed to say anything because they say it so a matter of fact like I should know.
Update:wow thanks you guys I thought they were saying like toe and it made no sense to me. I am so glad I never asked them what they meant

It means that they are a good person. A toe balances you, so the person being called a "toe-head" means they are balanced in the head. I encourage complementing, whenever possible, with this Caucasian slang.
It means they are very, very light blonde. I used to be called that all the time. . .I hated it! Lol.
Add: It is actually "tow" - which are the light colored fibers of flax, hemp, or jute.
