jail tail

Definition

A small, scraggly ponytail typically sprouting from the back of someone's head, favored by those who've done time or aspire to look like they have. It's the mullet's criminal cousin—business in the front, felony in the back. Often accompanied by questionable neck tattoos and a general air of "don't ask."

Example Usage

"The guy fixing my motorcycle has a serious jail tail and keeps calling everyone 'brother'—I'm slightly concerned but the price is good."
