The word "crimp" assumes a variety of meanings in literature, ranging from the literal to the figurative. It is sometimes used to denote the physical act of bending or shaping—whether it’s folding fabric or curving hair into defined waves ([1], [2], [3], [4])—while in other contexts it takes on a metaphorical role, signifying the act of impeding or spoiling plans or moods ([5], [6], [7]). It also appears as a nickname or surname for characters, often infusing them with a rough or distinctive quality ([8], [9], [10], [11]), and is used to describe individuals involved in exploitative practices, particularly in nautical or military settings ([12], [13], [14]).
