Describe it however you want. If you have a decent barber, they should understand you fine and work with you.
I've been shy, straight forward, and all manners of sides when asking for a haircut and the biggest issue has only been the occasional language barrier.

Once you're comfortable in a style it'll be easier to use different wording, depending on how you want your style. For example: you most certainly can ask for clipper sizes, like "no. 2 on sides", however if you don't know what you want from the top you could just ask them "a bit short but matching the sides, if you know what I mean?"

Some styles have different options, such as skin fades (usually medium or high here, indicating the point where the fade reaches on the side and back of the head). If you're unsure definitely do not be afraid of asking, if any barber has an issue with working with you they aren't the barbers you want as they're likely to rush the haircut regardless of what you say (in my experience), or only know limited styles/lack broader experience in hairdressing.

When I first saw The Lion King in the cinema, my best friend and I couldn't stop crying at the Mufasa scene.

We were probably taken to a colourful McDonalds, to be cheered up, however we did not use the play room as someone was having a birthday there.

If someone left their PC unattended, I'd quickly change all fonts to Comic Sans.

Some of us can't be trusted with such power. I would personally use invisibility to switch items in people's coat pockets. Keys always in the left? Well now they're in the right pocket!

Total anarchy.

Sounds like you've never had a lincolnshire sausage, or a nicely made shepherd's pie. Pies and pasties are often seasoned too.

It's a shame so many people don't get to experience flavourful British food, or go with stereotypes, since there's a bunch of really nice stuff.

I even have a book from the 1700s detailing the use of various herbs.

The REAL question is how much beans can I feed to a cat, and why does my house smell really bad?

I thought this was fake, but I searched Google for "parachute effectiveness" and that satirical study is at the top, and literally every single link below it is a reference to that satirical study. I have scrolled for a good minute and found no genuine answer...

This article has completely missed a selling point of e-readers for people like myself: no constant refreshing.

My eye strain, when reading for a long time, doesn't come from the light (or lack thereof), which is evident as a positive of backlit Kindles and other e-readers, though the constant flicker of screens. E-ink solves this issue perfectly, and with every device in that article mentioning "60Hz" on their alternatives I feel as though they've missed a big point of having an e-reader and what exactly constitutes as "paper like" (it's a lot more than just "low/no backlight").

This is rather interesting to me, as I have gut issues where I should be limiting my consumption of red meat. Red meat, specifically beef, in excess gives me rather uncomfortable toilet visits, however completely refraining from any at all causes flare ups in my mental conditions (namely, my depression and CPTSD symptoms are somewhat more exaggerated). It's at this point where I would crave something like a burger, almost like an addiction that somehow lay dormant until that moment, and my mood is lifted for some time afterwards.

I'm not within the field of science, however I have been noting how my diet affects my gut and mind for many years now, and that's just what I've noticed. It makes sense to me for a study to prove some correlation as well between the gut and brain.

I'm sorry to read you were treated so poorly during your treatment. I hope you are in a better situation, if not now then in the near future.

I've known this for a while, however I do not wish harm to grey squirrels. This is their war, I don't even know the first thing about squirrel warfare, although I do hope the red squirrels find an alliance to support their freedoms.
