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.

Re: Mullet on BBC2...
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.
