  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

TIL the mo in Mohawk is short for mono. Holy fuck

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Only in a backwards etymological way. It comes from the Mohawk people of modern New York (even though they mostly didn't sport that hairstyle, the association stuck anyway because of Hollywood)

And the “ro” in “Afro” is short for rohawk, which in turn is short for roundhawk, because its rounder than the monohawk.

Hawk comes from “haw cut”, “haircut”.

I sported a bihawk to Opeth back in like 2009. It was a good look, in my opinion.
