What does MULLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
Any of several edible fish caught along coasts worldwide, or a hairstyle cut short at the front and sides but left long at the back.
In the fish market, mullet usually means either the grey mullet, prized for its firm white flesh, or the red mullet, valued since Roman times for its bright color and delicate taste. The same word also names a hairstyle that became popular in the late twentieth century, cropped short around the face and sides while the hair at the back is left to grow long. Older writing sometimes uses mullet for a small pair of curling tongs, a sense now rarely seen outside historical dictionaries. Despite the very different pictures the two common meanings bring to mind, both trace back to the same French and Latin roots.
