A Brief Education in Mullets.

Meet Booker T. As you can see, he’s a rotund and portly, young chicken with piercing blue eyes. And if you look closely, you’ll notice that our fine feathered friend is sporting a unique hairstyle, and it has nothing to do with his widow’s peak (which is hereditary). We’re talking about what he does voluntarily to style his hair. He is sporting a hairstyle known as the “mullet“. Don’t let Booker T hear this…, but some consider the mullet “out of style”.

So, without further adieu, let’s commence with your mullet education. Consider this the mullet vocabulary you wish you learned in school.

The Mullet

Not to be confused with the fish, a mullet (a.k.a mudflap or Ape Drape) is a hairstyle that is short in the front, top, and sides, relative to the hair in the back. It’s sometimes referred to as “Business in the front, Party in the back”.

If you’re having a hard time visualizing what a mullet is, just think of David Spade’s character in the movie Joe Dirt (2001), or Billy Ray Cyrus’s hairstyle when the song “Achy Breaky Heart” was popular circa 1992. Oh, you can also think of John Stamos in the 80’s sitcom Full House.

Let me ask you a question. Do you like to people watch? More specifically, do you like to mullet-hunt? (A term referring to the act of scoping for people sporting mullets; usually a competition between buddies as a non-productive way to pass time.) If you want to mullet-hunt, we believe whole-heartedly that you will NEED to have at least some basic mullet terms in your arsenal in order to be competitive.

Here are some of OfferOfTheDay’s Favorite Mullets:

1. Mulletino - a Latino person’s mullet (a.k.a Mexi-mullet or Mul-latino)
2. Mulletini - a young child’s mullet
3. Femullet - a female’s mullet
4. Mulletard - we’re going to burn for this, but … a person with a mullet who HAPPENS to have down syndrome
5. Camaro Mullet - a guy’s mullet who drives a Camaro while showing off his mullet (a.k.a. Camaro Cut)
6. Perm-mullet - a permed mullet (i.e. Michael Bolton)
7. Famullet - a family where all the members have mullets
8. Mulletov Cocktail - a drink brought to you by a waitress with a mullet (femullet), whose hair accidentally went into your drink
