rattail
Mullet's skinny cousin
A rattail is a thin, trailing strand of hair grown long at the nape of the neck while the rest is cut short—a hairstyle associated with working-class youth and often mocked as trashy: He's had that rattail since middle school.
The word also describes anything resembling a rat's tail in shape: a rattail file is thin and tapered, and rattail pasta has a pointed end.
In fishing, a rattail is a type of deep-sea fish with a long, tapering body.
