pilgarlic (pil-GAHR-lik) - n., a bald-headed person; a pitiable or foolish person.


Especially one looked upon with humorous contempt or mock-pity. The first sense is often marked obs., but is the original sense -- first used in 1529, back when peel was often spelled pil, so a head like a peeled garlic.
