phonytail 

a male hairstyle, popular among computer programmers and fantasy role-playing game enthusiasts, in which hair on the back of the head is held together by a hair tie, forming a small and pathetic pseudo-ponytail
Though head developer Jeff, who referred to himself as Zorgoth, wore his hair in a greasy little phonytail, he imagined it to be a glorious lion's mane that required taming in the workplace.

Phonytail 

The cheap-looking hairpiece a person (typically a woman, however men can use phonytails too) picks up at the drugstore and clips onto the back of their head, thus giving the appearance of a long, lustrous ponytail... that is just a few shades off of their hair color. Usually for those who lack the brains or money to get real hair extensions or stop ruining their hair.
Man, did you see that? Sherri's tryin' to work the phonytail... too bad shes a blonde and the only ones CVS had left were for brown hair.

post road ponytail

Look at that thot's post road ponytail, it's barely there.

Ponytailer 

A ponytail holder as described by a man out of touch with pop culture. He hails from some weird state like MissourAAAAh. He recently met the greatest woman ALIVE and is thanking his lucky stars on the daily that she has 'saved' him from a life full of open source code and sausage parties.
My cat just ate my ponytailer and is gonna be sick later.

My girlfriend keeps wearing my ponytailers home from my house in the morning...maybe I should cut my hair short like a man...

Sweatpants-Ponytail Girl 

A girl who is chill and gives no fucks. She tells it like it is and is legit. She is true to herself and to the people around her. She is able to look beautiful without makeup and she knows what she wants; she is not high maintenance. She can kick it with her boyfriend without having to go out and being entertained. Music is a big part of her life and she likes simple things like movie nights. Sadly, this type of girl is very rare.
She is so chill and down to earth she is like a sweatpants-ponytail girl.

Silver Ponytail 

1. Someone who was a hippie in the 1960s that grew up but kept their hair long because at heart they are still hippies. Many of them can be found in the academic world.

2. A 1960s revolutionary radical who didn't cut their hair because for them the revolution is still on. They are older, wiser, and more dangerous.
Def 1. Tonight we're gonna be chillin' some the silver ponytails, bring lots of weed.

Def 2. The silver ponytails won't rest until they bring down the whole American system.

Everyone can tell that's a phony-tail she's sporting. Yesterday she was damn near bald headed.
