The word came from Cool Hand Luke IIRC but it’s commonly used to describe a haircut that’s long in the back and short in the front. More info can be found at http://www.mulletsgalore.com/
It also a type of fish. I understand one of the best places to catch mullet is in the Ortega area in Jacksonville FL.
a.k.a. hockey hair
You probably heard of the hairstyle or the fish, but I always go to one of the more obscure definitions first.
Mullet is the heraldic term for a star. You see it used in describing coats of arms.
I looked at dictionary.com, and they have the fish and the heraldic definitions, but not the hairstyle. They do, however, mention an obsolete definition, “Small pinchers for curling the hair”.
I expect the hairdo got its name from the fish, though.
Jesus had a mullet, you know. Look at all the pictures of him.
We also used to find them in the sailboats moored at the marina at NAS Jax - them fishies like to jump and sometimes they jump into small boats… then they die… UGH!
I thought it was when you crossed a manatee with a pullet…

No, no…that’s a pullman.
Dude, just check out David Bowie in his golden years; diamond dogs/alladin sane days. The guy is the epidomy of the mullet.

Can’t say I find it quite as attractive as his new style, however

As was said earlier, a mullet is hairdo that is short on top and long in the back. I prefer to call it shlong hair.
Richard Dean Anderson a.k.a McGyver was the epitomy of Mullet.
Jesus did not have a mullet. his hair was long all over.
The world’s greatest example of severe mullettude would have to be Jon bon Jovi, he pioneered the “Poodle Mullet” and was the envy of mullet wearers everywhere.
http://www.mulletsgalore.com is a great site.
make sure you check out the porno mullet site.
hehehehe
I read somewhere that it was pretty unlikely that Jesus would have the long hair depicted in all the paintings, that the most likely haircut for a Jewish man in that era was a kind of ‘bowl’ haircut with sideburns.
Wow, Jesus looked like Liam Gallagher?
In that case jesus looked like John Lennon.
Maybe the Beatles were bigger than Jesus after all.
But…but…that would mean that the Shroud of Turin is a fake! :eek:
That mulletsgalore site which has been referenced a couple times has an entymology page, that says that the term comes from a line in Cool Hand Luke “where one of the guys calls people with long, shaggy hair ‘Mulletheads.’”
I think that’s etymology, not the study of insects.
