mullets
Business-party haircuts
Mullets are fish prized as food in many cuisines, found in coastal and brackish waters worldwide.
The word also names a hairstyle short on the sides and top but long in back—business in front, party in back.
The hairstyle became iconic in the 1980s and has cycled between fashion statement and punchline ever since: He's still rocking a mullet.
