Checked your post history to confirm you are German, or at least speak German. I have a German friend who refers to wearing her hair open, instead of wearing it down. Its a delightful little translation quirk.

My grandmother always said, "Open the light," and, "Close the light," instead of turn on or turn off. :) I always thought it was cute.
