A type of fish found in both saltwater and freshwater; or a hairstyle with short hair in front and long hair in the back, popular in the 1980s.
For the fish: from Old French 'molet.' For the hairstyle: named after the fish in the 1980s because the style resembled the fish's shape (business in front, party in back).
The mullet haircut got its name in the 1980s as a joke because someone thought the shape looked like a fish—short on top like a fish's head, long in back like the tail—and the name stuck forever, making it one of the few hairstyles named after an animal.
