Nooooooooooo...
"A mullet is a hairstyle that is short in the front, top, and sides, but long in the back (also referred to as the "business party": business at the front, party at the back). The hairstyle was popular during the late 20th Century, from early 1970's to the early 1990's. Mullets have been worn by both males and females of all ages. The mullet is distinct from the rattail, which consists of a long, narrow "tail" of hair growing from the back of the head."

Urban legends have mullets dating back to 19th century fishermen, who wore their hair long in the back to keep warm — hence the term mullet. The Notes section of the Viking edition of Lydia Davis's translation of Swann's Way by Proust states "Jean Baptiste Prosper Bressant was a well-known actor who introduced a new hairstyle, which consisted of wearing the hair in a crew cut in front and longer in the back."

Sadly, I admit I am guilty of the rattail my freshman year of high school. Cut it off and proudly sported a mullet until freshman year of college. That was one long mullet.
