Today, after getting an expensive haircut, I showed it to my boyfriend. Instead of saying, "Wow, those bangs look great on you" he said, "Wow, you look really good when you don't show your forehead." FML

Maybe he was trying to compliment you. Quit whining about something so small.

Stop being a whiney child. And can anyone tell me why Americans (and presumably, some other nationalities) call a fringe 'bangs'?

[Apologies if this double-posts] Since you've asked so nicely, here's the abridged version from Word Detective: "... by the 19th century [bang] was used to convey suddenness or finality [...] 'Bangs' are so-called because they are created by cutting the hair 'bang- off,' abruptly and straight across the forehead. [...] 'Bangs' as a young lady's hairstyle almost certainly originated with the practice of cutting horses' tails straight across, a style known to this day as a 'bang-tail.'"

Can anyone tell me why some nationalities call bangs "fringe?" Maybe because it's a word in our dialect, dumbass.

There's no reason to be rude. He/she asked nicely, and it's not a terrible question. I, myself, am curious about the different type of words English speaking countries use.

Yes, you're screwed because the words you were looking for didn't come out of his mouth. YDI for looking for a specific response. And YDI for paying a lot of money for a haircut.

I always thought bangs were the bits that hang at the side of the face, not a fringe, haha! Bangs sounds so strange to me.

Actually, fringe is the correct worldwide terminology to use. Pretty much the USA is the only country that knows what "bangs" refer to.

So what? You have a big forehead. Deal with it and stop moaning about it.
