| Anatomical terminology | |
In human anatomy, the forehead or brow is the bony part of the head above the eyes. People who have a large forehead are often said to have a fivehead.
Anatomy
In modern humans it is roughly vertical, ending at the hairline where the head flattens out.
Muscles of the forehead include the frontalis, which moves and contracts the forehead's scalp.
Cultural Aspects
A popular stereotype is that having a large forehead signifies a high level of intelligence, although this is more of an old wives' tale than anything else.
Certain hairstyles, such as fringe or bangs hide a portion of the forehead.
Pronunciation
Historically, the word has rhymed with "horrid" RP: [ˈfɒɹɪd], GenAm: [ˈfɔɹɪd], but the spelling pronunciation RP: [ˈfɔːhɛd], GenAm: [ˈfɔɹhɛd] has become more common in recent years.
Other
'Forehead' is also used as a nickname for fictional soap character "Cassie Turner" in Home and Away.
