What the hell is a platterhead?


At the beginning of the movie there is a fight scene in an english classroom. I believe it was started when one of the jocks called the guy in the leather jacket a "platterhead". What is this? Also they used the word "razor" a lot.

I dont know...did the actor getting called a platterhead have a flat or round face? When I talk crap to one of my friends I call him plate face and 5 head, cause he has a flat, round face and he has a fore head so big that its actully a five head.

Razor is bad mid/late 90's slang for cool.

No, it isn't platerhead, it's peckerhead.

Thanks for the replies, I think I have a slightly better idea of what a platterhead is.

Like Merrida said - they're saying "peckerhead" but in the TV versions, they change it to either "puttyhead" or "platterhead"... it's quite obvious - don't you people watch lips or hear the change in voice tone?

I have no idea what a "platterhead" head. In the movie Nick stahl keeps saying "peckerhead" so maybe you watched a dubbed version.

"Platterhead" is the overdubbed alternative to the original word "peckerhead". A "Peckerhead" (at least that's what I have known it as) is a really bad jerk!

Regarding your second question, "razor" means (I think!) "cool".

Definitions from the Urban Dictionary for "peckerhead":

- One who has a penis for brains, and no social skills.
- A name that you call someone that really pisses you off.

or, interestingly...

- A wire box for an electric motor.

Hope this helps everyone wondering what a "peckerhead" is.
