Stuffy-guy - This word is used by the folks in Mejis. It means scarecrow. They have an important role at the end of the year when Fin de ano is celebrated. The people paint the hands of these stuffy-guys red and burn them on bonfires.

Roland would have understood.
I understand the concept of stuffy guys. Even burning them. But why the red hands?

I think it might have been to symbolize blood. Just a guess though.
"People, especially children, aren't measured by their IQ. What's important about them is whether they're good or bad, and these children are bad." ~ Alan Bernard
"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
If I remember well it symbolized the sins of the folks. I am not sure. I will try to find it in W&G.

In English idiom, "Red-Handed" means guilty.
A-ha! Caught you red-handed!
