Its when guys have a normal haircut and then let a scraggily piece of hair grow out looking like a "rats tail". A rat-tail is also a type of splice of two electrical wires. Two wires are placed side by side to one another with about one inch of insulation removed. The copper strands are then twisted together. Then the now connected wires are spread apart into one straight line with the twisted strands sticking out perpendicularly from the straight wire. This is the rat's tail. The tail is then wound around and around the area where the splice is until it is is gone. The result is one connected wire in a straight line. Wind some electrical tape over the bare spliced area and there you have a rat's tail splice.
