Why in the world are those hairs draped down your forehead called “bangs”?
It turns out the term is short for the word “bangtail.” I don't suspect that cleared things up for you, so I will elaborate. A bangtail is a horse’s tail trimmed horizontally, so that the tail has a flat, even end. Now you know.
And for your safety, please note that if a female co-worker asks you what you think of her new bangs, you should NOT respond that they make her look like a horse’s ass, no matter how (literally) true that may be.
