Is noodle a slang name for head?

"Noodle" is not a slang term for "head". While it's true that we sometimes use "noodle" to refer to the brain (e.g., "I'm using my noodle"), it's not a slang term for the head itself.

Here's why:

* "Noodle" is a metaphor for the brain: It implies a flexible, thinking organ, like a noodle.

* "Head" is the actual physical part of the body: It encompasses the brain, skull, hair, etc.

There are slang terms for head, like "noggin", "bean", or "dome", but "noodle" is not one of them.
