==History== Joe Cirello, a barber from Philadelphia, said he had invented the duck's ass in 1940, and he called the swung hair sides and their termination 'The Swing', after the musical style of the day. He'd practiced on a lonely blind boy for about eighteen months.<ref>{{cite news|last=Wallace|first=Andy|title='Duck Cut' inventor Cirello, barber to stars dies at 79|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1356&dat=19940215&id=jMhPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=_AcEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5411,2815587|access-date=24 February 2014|newspaper=Ocala Star-Banner|date=15 February 1994}}</ref> The duck's tail became an emblematic coiffure of disaffected young males across the English-speaking world during the 1950s. In Britain, it formed part of the visual identity of [[Teddy Boy|teddy boys]] and [[Rocker (subculture)|rockers]], along with the [[quiff]] and the elephant's trunk.
