Hi friends, what is the meaning of “crew-chopped “ in the following sentence:”He knelt down, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and spread it over Francis Macomber's crew-cropped head where it lay. The blood sank into the dry, loose earth.” This man was shot in the head. Thanks!

Hi Isabella and Jessie,
This is referring to his hairstyle - a crew cut is a short haircut (where the hair is cut short on the top and even shorter on the sides). This makes sense in the context that he has been shot in the head and the image is being described for the reader.
I hope that helps!

It's a haircut. It's more commonly called a "crew-cut," but the writer might have changed it to "crew-cropped" as a stylistic choice.

To me it sounds like crew cropped head is referring to his haircut. Kind of like a military style haircut.

What are you reading 😅 «crew-cropped» is a haircut I believe, usually that military men have.
