n. - In the popular gaming site of
Roblox, the term 'bacon hair' is used to refer to players with one of two default avatars as their active appearance. The term was originally the nickname for the "pal hair"
avatar item which was (and still is) a part of the
boy/masculine starter
player avatar, since it looks
like bacon strips. Overtime, the term would start to be used to refer to players using either default avatar (masculine or feminine - there isn't a default option for anyone in between). Given that the default avatars were (and still are) commonly associated with newer accounts, meaning newer and younger players, it is NOT uncommon for the term to be used with either condescending or negative connotation.
A lot of users with more experience might call a such 'bacon hair' or 'bacon' (for
short) out when they get caught doing anything between irritation and getting themselves reported, blocked, etc.
Side notes:
The featured .gif shows an avatar with the 'pal hair'. I couldn't find anything with a full-on default avatar of either kind. Also, I do not support the stereotyping or overgeneralizations of players and acting upon them as such. With any given game, I
don't judge based on avatar, but rather as to what each and every
player does that I encounter individually.

Player 1: "Uhhh, what the
heck happened to my horse??"
Player 2: "I saw some bacon hair riding off with it. I thought it was his that just looked the same as yours, but I guess I was
wrong."

Player 1: "Ugghhh, what is causing all this lag!?"
Player 2: "Some bacon's spamming the vehicle spawners. The vans are spawning into each other non-stop. Report @username, then we can play something else or join another server."
Player 1: "
Aight."
