Mulletant: aimless red state radical; one who speaks most pejoratively when asked to comment on city slickers, urban malaise, limousine
liberals and Macy’
s Marxists; a cloudy-minded (and usu. tipsy) creature who foams at the mouth when unaware passenger seat dwellers pause at the local NPR station when surfing AM radio; a devout fan of disaffected rockers who distill left-leaning punk and
angst-riddled music to a
core formula of ‘screamoaning,’ suicidal ideation, and a “leave me alone” basement meth lab attitude.

unrelated to family trees and a promiscuous
definition of European ancestry; not synonymous with “albino” or caused by “vitiligo”; usu. distinguishable from flu-like paleness; fluorescent glow
may neither be achieved through clever use of foundation nor denied through indulgence in tanning goods or services--American mutt” power supremacists), not to be mistaken with any of the tightly organized (even militaristic) organizations bearing the coincidentally similar postfix “-ant.”

He's harmless. He talks a lot of
trash, but he's just
mad that his
parents couldn't afford to move out of the neightborhood when the cash-strapped (but comparatevily more industrious and potentially mobile) immigrants started moving into town. He's a run-of-the-mill mulletant.
