Interesting Japanese #2
'Baa-ko-do' = 'Comb-over'
This is a transliteration of the word 'barcode.' This describes a hairstyle popular among some aging Japanese gentlemen. Long, black strands of hair are combed over from one side of the head to the other in an attempt to disguise the pale, shining bald pate - looking just like a barcode. One TV show even tried scanning peoples' heads to see what prices would come up.

"Barcode" - great name for a hairstyle. Our TV weatherman, Augie Auer, has a real classic and has to stand with his left ear to windward when he gives his outside report. Worked with a guy once who combed it over from the back down by his neck through to a kiss curl in the front.
That would require a fair bit of Brylcreem.
