A reverse mullet - business in the back, party in the front. Preferred by urban hipsters who like long shaggy bangs without uncomfortably scratchy hair on their neck.
My friend who works at the second-hand record store down the street went to Supercuts the other day and got a tullem.

Unlike Stockholm syndrome, where hostages develop sympathy for their abductor, Lima syndrome is the result of the abductor / kidnapper sympathizing with his hostages.
Occurred in the Japanese Embassy hostage crisis of 1996, when members of a militant movement took hostage hundreds of people attending a party in the official residence of Japan's ambassador to Peru. Within a few days, they set free most of the hostages, including the most valuable ones.

The curious practice where a celebrity takes a vow of voluntary celibacy. Usually taken by brooding male rock stars like Rivers Cuomo and Morrissey.
I don't know why you'd practice celebracy when you could get any screaming teenage groupie you wanted.
