    What's your favourite facial hair style? I like just a good beard. Though I must admit I wasn't a fan of mine at first, but then it grew on me.

    I totally respect your reasons for focusing on Charlie Chaplin, and it got a good laugh out of me. Richard Herring tried to reclaim that mustache it for comedians one. Obviously it didn't work. I think a full mustache looks better anyway.

    Fu Manchu is actually named after the "Manchu", which is a race of people ruling the Qing dynasty, and looks similar to popular style among noble in that dynasty as well(well trimmed, long, thin moustache and beard), also, "Fu" or "Hu" is the chinese word for both facial hair and barbarians(Fu being the southern/Cantonese pronunciation). so Fu Manchu is actually "Manchu moustache" or "Manchu barbarians", so the fictional character is literally named "bearded manchu/manchu barbarian"

    Being Scandinavian, I’ve got the genes for a Viking Beard, a more maintained blonde/ginger Ned Kelly and thus often braided in two parts. I can’t be bothered by that and just go for the Lenin, a minimalist take on the Van Dyke.

    Beard actually comes from Old English beard, from Proto Germanic bardaz, but it is a cognate to barba, since the both come from Proto Indo European bʰardʰéh₂

    In the mid to late nineties of Minnesota (and Wisconsin).... People I knew called the mustache a Go, the chin whiskers a Tey, and the triangular patch below the bottom lip was called Mofo. We also used to joke around swiping each part with a thumb and finger saying, "go, tey, mofo...". Then we'd snap and say, "good to go ". (usually in front of a mirror). Now the nostalgia of my youth has almost made it ASMR to my mind.

    When one has both sideburns / mutton chops and handlebars, so big that they fade into one another, my friends and I call it a "Lemmy". Not sure if it's become an official name yet in any language, but we call it after Lemmy Kilmister, singer / bass player for the metal band Motörhead.

    The very long, sometimes braided, sideburns worn by Hasidic Jews are called “payot” (pronounced like “payout” with a Canadian accent), singular “payah,” in Hebrew. They are worn for religious reasons.

      @@moonpie1971 Yiddish, being derived from German, has a different accent structure than Hebrew, and different grammatical endings. An Israeli who speaks modern Hebrew (which is derived from Biblical Hebrew) would say “pay-AH” and “pay-OAT,”. while a Hasidic, usually Ashkenazic, Jew in the US, speaking Yiddish, would say “PAY-ah” and “PAY-ess.” Same with “Sha-BAT” vs “SHAH-bass” and other words from Hebrew in Yiddish.
