Mop, unkempt hair. Used to describe messy, tangled, uncombed, or excessively long and wild hair. Depending on the speaker’s intonation, it can range from a lighthearted, friendly tease to a slightly disgusted or critical comment about someone’s appearance.
Мама, носившая короткую стрижку, постоянно говорила: «срежь ты эти лохмы!», мама ведь плохого не посоветует?!
My mum, who always had a short haircut, used to say, “Cut off these shaggy locks!” My mum wouldn’t give me bad advice, would she?!
