Learner notes
Memory Tip
把 perm 联想成 permanent（持久的），烫发就是让卷发持久保持，所以 perm 表示“烫发”。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：hair salon、everyday conversation 作“烫发”讲时，perm 是 permanent wave 的简称，多用于理发店和日常对话；正式书面语中较少直接用 perm，可写作 permanent wave。
Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words rhyme with perm in BrE: they share the stressed vowel /ɜː/ followed by /m/, despite different spellings (-erm, -irm, -orm). Beware lookalikes with a different vowel: form /fɔːm/, warm /wɔːm/, and permanent /ˈpɜːmənənt/ do not rhyme.
