• Source: Neckbeard (slang)

"Neckbeard" is a pejorative term and stereotype for an adult man or teenage boy who exhibits characteristics such as social awkwardness, underachievement, pretentiousness, laziness and poor personal hygiene and overall self-care. The term is derived from the neck beard style of facial hair stereotypically associated with young men of more introverted dispositions, who may neglect social facial grooming and identify with nerd, gamer, or geek subcultures. The term has also been associated with anti-feminist internet users.




Examples
