Default Mullet on BBC2...

On Balderdash and Piffle (BBC2 Monday 9pm - ie, now) they're about to look where the word 'mullet' came from; including the possibility it was originally used by the Beasties.

They're going to talk about it more next week, but they want any evidence of it before Mullet Head. Here's the link; mullet and the bit from the BBC site;

mullet

Wanted: Printed evidence before 1994; information of the word's origin.

The infamous hairstyle. Did you sport a mullet and call it that before the 1994 Beastie Boys' song 'Mullet Head'? A mullet-head is 'a stupid person', after the earlier meaning 'an imaginary fish with no brains'. Is this the origin? There are other offers.

[Please note: The OED link above will take you to a site outside bbc.co.uk/history.]
