When I grew up in the 80s and early 90s, the Danish stereotype about Germans is that they had mullets. I wonder how many mullet-related national stereotypes exist nowadays. I was reminded of this because I just heard that Brazilians apparently say this about Argentinians.

@pervognsen I thought it was the Swedes.

@pervognsen from personal experience, for the late 80s and early 90s, and talking about Germans in their mid-late 20s and early 30s, you were probably right
which is not super Germany-specific AFAICT
also shoulder pads, but that's even less specific

@pervognsen my name is Giovanni Giorgio, but in Germany, they say Hans-Jörg

@rygorous Just did a search for "Bundesligahår" (one of the standard slang terms for mullets) and was not disappointed.

@rygorous Although https://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=bundesligah%C3%A5r says that term is first attested in 1995 whereas to @ahfrom's point "svenskerhår" apparently goes back to at least 1984.

@pervognsen @rygorous @ahfrom in American English, we have “Tennessee Tophat” for a regional mullet stereotype.

@pervognsen @rygorous @ahfrom in Canadian French, it’s a coupe Longueuil.

@pervognsen @rygorous @ahfrom I think the standard name in Canadian English (@fclc?) is “hockey hair,” the moral equivalent of Bundesligahår?

@steve @rygorous @ahfrom @fclc I believe that's also one of the standard slang terms for it in Swedish, which is another hockey-playing country. Just did a quick search based on the hockey country thing and apparently similar terms also exist in Norwegian and Finnish.

@pervognsen @rygorous @ahfrom @fclc definitely also used in hockey-playing parts of the USA. But anywhere south of ~42 degrees north in the USA, I would not really expect it to be understood.

@steve @pervognsen @rygorous @ahfrom @fclc it was called Czech football player hair in Poland for some reason (even though there were definitely local players sporting it too...) . I guess young Jagr combined Czech&hockey nicely: http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/omnisport/f7/58/jaromir-jagr-100515-usnews-getty-ftr_jzxg1pdurp2t16mumt7nco8db.jpg?t=963087848

@msinilo @pervognsen @rygorous @ahfrom @fclc as a sufficiently old American, “Czech football hair” makes me expect the wild and crazy guys from SNL (though, in fairness, I believe they are canonically Slovak brain surgeons, which is presumably why they lack mullets).

@pervognsen @steve @rygorous @ahfrom @fclc Yeah, "hockeyfrilla" is the name for it here historically, although I think with the younger generation just the english word "mullet" has taken over.

@steve @pervognsen @rygorous @ahfrom mullet would be a form of hockey hair, up there with the various forms of “Flows”, half tops and so on!

@fclc @pervognsen @rygorous @ahfrom thanks!
Do you know why Longueuil got the blame in French?

@steve @fclc @pervognsen @rygorous @ahfrom according to Radio-Canada, it was just really popular down there https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1689075/coupe-longueuil-cheveux-coiffure-mode-homme-archives#:~:text=Les%20Canadiens%20anglais%20l'appellent,dans%20cette%20ville%20du%20Québec.

@pervognsen in polish we say on mullet hairstyle 'czeski piłkarz/hokeista' (czech soccer/hockey player).. :) According to this https://web.archive.org/web/20131202232155/http://doza.o2.pl/?s=4097&t=3326 it was because style was popularised by czech hockey players in American teams, maybe they picked it from Canadians. Article tells also about some aliases: Kentucky waterfall or Neck Warmer. In German it was "Vokuhila".
