Duck's ass or D.A. The ducktail is a men's haircut style popular during the 1950s. It is also called the duck's tail, duck's ass, duck's arse, or simply D.A. and is also described as slicked back hair. [1] [2] The hair is pomaded (greased), combed back around the sides, and parted centrally down the back of the head.
The sides were styled to resemble the folded wings of the duck, often with heavy sideburns. [3] A variant of the duck's tail style, known as "the Detroit", consisted of the long back and sides combined with a flattop.

The style means shaving the sides and back of the head, leaving just a suggestion of hair on top.
