Mullet (Haircut)

The mullet is a type of haircut. It is relatively short on top, longer at the back (at least to the shoulders), with the ears exposed. The mullet also goes by various nicknames, including Ape Drape, Camaro Cut, Shlong (Short-Long), Mudflap, Hockey Hair, ten-ninety, Tennessee Tophat and Kentucky Waterfall and Neck Warmer. The popular phrase "Business in the front, party in the back" describes the look of the mullet. The Beastie Boys are purported to have coined this word usage. The mullet is associated with low-income people in the United States and 1970s ice hockey players, especially Czechoslovakian. In the United Kingdom the mullet is most commonly associated with rural thugs, such as Craig Evans who attacked deputy PM John Prescott with an egg or Ian Botham. In Britain, the mullet is also popularly associated with Central and Eastern Europeans, particularly professional footballers. In recent years, however, the mullet has enjoyed resurgent popularity among the hip set, probably due to its association with 1980s retro kitsch. The German term for mullet is "Vokuhila," which stands for "vorne kurz, hinten lang" (short in front, long in the back).
