APAD: Bad hair day

楼主 (文学城)

Meaning:

   A `bad hair day' originally had a literal meaning - a day on which one's hair

   seems unmanageable. The expression's meaning has been extended to mean a day

   when everything seems to go wrong.

 

Background:

   The phrase was already well known by that date but not very widely used. In

   February 1970: the Michigan newspaper the Lansing State Journal printed:

 

     When your hair gets too expressive it usually results in a condition called

     "a bad hair day" ...the only fitting end to a bad hair day is a trip to the

     Barbers.

 

   Whether that's where the term was coined isn't certain, although it is a

   strong contender. There are many hearsay reports that it is much earlier, but

   no hard evidence has emerged to support them.

No particular bad hair days stood out, not recently. Time had so whitewashed

memory, a punctured tire, a speed ticket, the daily traffic jam, flops at work,

the pointy-haired boss, sport accidents, etc., that years after, they look

romantic or sometimes even heroic as the sacrifice paving the way.
