【明報專訊】Anything described as being rat-tailed is round, slender (細長的) and tapering (尖端細的). As you might guess, it resembles (類似) the tail of a rat. You don't have to look far to see what I mean, especially if you're a girl with a rat-tailed comb in your purse. If you're still wondering what I mean, have a look at the picture I've drawn. You will note that yours will have the tapering tail, but luckily it won't have the rat's head.
