Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. Bull-headnoun

    Etymology: from bull and head.

    The miller’s thumb, or bull-head, is a fish of no pleasing shape; it has a head big and flat, much greater than suitable to its body; a mouth very wide, and usually gaping; he is without teeth, but his lips are very rough, much like a file; he hath two fins near to his gills, which are roundish or crested; two fins under his belly, two on the back, one below the vent, and the fin of his tail is round. Nature hath painted the body of this fish with whitish, blackish, brownish spots. They are usually full of spawn all the summer, which swells their vents in the form of a dug. The bull-head begins to spawn in April; in winter we know no more what becomes of them than of eels or swallows. Izaak Walton, Angler.
