frizzy

the word frizzy is so good to describe people. from paul ford’s newsletter (i guess i’m hooked):

“There were lots of other people taking constitutionals [at Green-Wood Cemetery], but it was overall very calm and easy to stay distant. Everyone looks frizzy in a special way that New Yorkers get frizzy. I can’t define it. The rougher we get the more defiant we are about it. Eventually people are wearing six T-shirts instead of a winter coat and smoking.”
