The name of a character in a children's book of the same name by Heinrich Hoffmann (1809-1894), used attrib. to designate a person with long, thick, and unkempt hair. Hence Struwwelpeterdom (of hair): the condition of being thick and untidy. Cf. synonymous shockheaded Peter.

This is me on mornings after particularly tumbly sleeps.
