Anyway, be on the lookout for "parcel mullets" as you peruse our Delray/Boynton neighborhoods and please share any findings…lol.

Apparently, a parcel mullet is a house with a mowed, manicured front lawn but a wild, unkempt yard in the back — reminiscent of the unlamented mullet hairstyle, which is short at the front and sides of the head, and ickily long in the back.

A "parcel mullet" refers to the phenomenon of having a well manicured short lawn in the front yard, but a wild long yard in the back. Or in laymen’s terms, business lawn in front, party lawn in the back.

Notes
If you're not sure what a mullet is, see the mullet strategy entry. Actually, on second thought, not knowing what a "mullet" is would be considered by some a good thing, so reveling in this tiny bit of ignorance is also an option.

Note, as well, that the "parcel" portion of this term is real estate jargon for a piece of land. A less formal alternative is lawn mullet, which was a finalist in the Most Creative category of the American Dialect Society's 2004 Word of the Year festivities.
