Bullpoll

/ˈbʊlˌpoʊl/ noun

Definition

A poll or survey method; historically, a method of voting or census-taking; also an archaic term for a person or head.

Etymology

From 'bull' (possibly meaning 'official' or 'sealed') + 'poll' (count, tally, or head). The etymology is obscure, with origins possibly in Middle English legal terminology.

Kelly Says

The word 'poll' itself comes from an Old Norse root meaning 'head,' since early polling literally meant counting heads—bullpoll may preserve this ancient practice with an added emphatic 'bull' prefix.
