Uhh, how is 搞头 a neologism c. 2004?

搞头 is recorded in《成都话方言词典》published 1987 and《四川方言词典》published, also in, 1987. There's also an excerpt found in the magazine《收获》(上海文艺出版社)May '83, p. 80:「坝地再多点,搞头就更大了!」

I believe it's a much older phrase than you are lead to think it is. Whether or not it is really of TW origin is also another question to be looked at.
