random curiosity

Anyone know the more formal term for what some fandoms *cough*WK*cough* call 'eartails'? I know there's an actual term for them. I just can't recall what it is. Any ideas?

I think I've heard them referred to as 'momiage' or something like that. no idea what that's supposed to mean or anything, the word just fires a synapse or two.

I looked it up; apparently momiage a Japanese word for sideburns or tufts of hair under the temple. 揉み上げ
And here I've been pronouncing it incorrectly in my mind.

I've heard "momiage", but I thought it was a french word. Hunh! ;-)
