kaigouAnyone 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?

Re: Eartails!
Date: 30 Jul 2012 03:20 am (UTC)I've heard "momiage" used to refer to eartails, but I didn't realize it meant sideburns specifically... and "binbatsu" does sound like something that could be cleared up right quick with a dose of antibiotics. "Not tonight, dear, my binbatsu's flared up again."
heh. "Chari" sounds particularly interesting, in terms of its meaning-movement from a woman's hairstyle to "funny word or gesture". Wonder how that shift came about...
