Incidentally, I just stumbled on what Tony may have been thinking.

It turns out that 'tail' also accepts the syntax

   tail +2 filename

vs. the more common

   tail -2 filename

The latter case displays the last two lines of filename,
while the former displays filename *beginning with* line 2
(counting from 1).

However, 'head' does not support this syntax.

Thus, while it's easy to "print an entire file minus the FIRST 'x' lines,"
it's not so easy to print minus the LAST 'x' lines.
