Definitions

Hair is only temporary, so it is not a big deal for it to be cut.

Examples

“JOHN DONNELLY—brilliant advertiser for Noonan's Hair Restorer, says it makes you look "Neet" and causes your hair to "come out" fine. But he forgets the old saying, "Hair today, gone tomorrow."”

“Snip, snip, snip, I went, and watched it tumble to the floor. Snip, snip, snip. Cut, cut, cut. Bye, bye. Slán leat. And as they say in France, au revoir. Hair today, gone tomorrow. That's the way things were these days.”
