How it's used
Refers specifically to the very short, buzz cut style often associated with military service. While it implies a clean and disciplined look, it is frequently used to describe any extremely short haircut where the sides are shaved close to the scalp. It is a common term in local barbershops when asking for a low maintenance style.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with just any short hair, as it specifically implies the sides are shaved or faded very short. Asking for this without being specific about the length on top might result in a much shorter cut than intended.
