This hairstyle is called a mullet

mullet = “muh-lit” = short hair at the front and long hair at the back



In your mind what type of person usually has a mullet?

In the 80’s mullets were very popular on stylish men (including many Hollywood actors). These days it’s usually rednecks or sports stars who have them.

redneck (-) (slang) = working class person from the countryside in the US

Fans say: “Business in the front, party in the back”

 

In this commercial, when the ridge drives past people, they suddenly grow mullets.
