Reference information:
If you just want to know what the term is, Socrates is giving you the correct idea, however it cannot be translated as "freak" in English (origin of the Greeklish) similar to "τετημπους" cannot imply "Teddy Boy".

Τry Frizzy like Afro Frizzy if you want to give a closer meaning
