"Bang Bang, they shot you down..." and other such tenuous "bang" related lyrics - because THAT's what BANG means. How in the name of Jaysis does "bang" mean a "fringe"? Of all the different monikers that the Americans have devised to set them apart from the rest of the English speaking world, this is the most bizarre.
Anyway, Twitter at large is not a fan of Beyonce's new doo, which comes complete with 'Lloyd Christmas' fringe. Personally, we think she can carry off just about any hairstyle, but we're just not sure why she'd opt for this, particularly from a logistical point of view. Speaking as someone who's sported the Lloyd in the past, it's a BITCH to straighten without singeing the hell out of your forehead while simultaneously burning your fingers.
That aside, here are just some of the choice tweets doing the rounds this morning.
