Mánička

For the fictional character, see Spejbl and Hurvínek.

Mánička (in plural: máničky) is a Czech term used for men with long hair, in Czechoslovakia through the 1960s and 1970s. Long hair for males during this time was considered an expression of rebellious political and social attitudes in communist Czechoslovakia. "Mánička" is a female given name, a hypocorism of Máňa, which is a diminutive of variants of the name Maria. It was applied to males in a pejorative manner.
