Answer 1

Wow, I know what that is but never knew that's how you spell it. Jeje... ¡qué chévere! I've also heard of a "widow's peak".

According to the dictionary, it's one word "cowlick" and the Spanish equivalent is "remolino". =]

There are also variations, such as "callick", even though my computer's spell check is having a conniption, telling me that it's spelled wrong. - Azabache, Jul 30, 2012

Interesting you say that... according to two discussions and Wikipedia that's the most common misspelling of the word other than collic. However, since I didn't know how to spell it in the first place I remain neutral. Jeje - DJ_Huero, Jul 30, 2012

"Callick" probably is wrong, but that's just how I've always spelled it, haha. - Azabache, Jul 30, 2012

Hey, I ain't knocking you. I still say Vietmanese instead of Vietnamese no matter how much people correct me! Lol - DJ_Huero, Jul 30, 2012

so "remolino" it is, ..interesting word, thanks - DreSmith3, Jul 30, 2012

Jeje, de nada =] - DJ_Huero, Jul 30, 2012

Answer 2

i dont know but that is a good question to ask but why cowlick

The term "cowlick" originates from the domestic bovine's habit of licking its young, which results in a swirling pattern in the hair. - DJ_Huero, Jul 30, 2012

Well my son has a "cowlick" in the front of his hair as well as one in the back. Anytime I come across a word that I don't know how to say in spanish I make a point to look up the word in the dictionary/translator! - harrahleah, Jul 30, 2012

Jeje, orale pues harrah. =] - DJ_Huero, Jul 31, 2012
