despentear

Max Eastman contava que John Reed chegou, todo despenteado, e disse que estava escrevendo um livro... e que não o molestaram em dez dias.

And his was the best report of it. Max Eastman had this story that John Reed came down, tousled hair all, you know... And said he was writing a book and not to disturb him for ten days.

Existem famílias com momentos de ternura em que te despenteiam o cabelo dizendo "És a cara do teu pai"

In families with tender moments Where they tousle your hair saying "It's the spitting image of his father."
