One Definition
HairyDee
To had a drink of alcohol the day after you’ve had a big night of heavy drinking. Comes from the original term that if a dog attacks you, you show it is boss by still challenging it and taking one of it’s hairs, and then you are the alpha, because even after being attacked you come back for more.
Example: I had a massive night last night, but hair of the dog I need to have a beer again this morning.
