Okay, I'm hearing and reading this term more often on here, so I know what a neck beard is, but obviously it has somewhat of a negative connotation with regard to certain individuals who wear them.

Inform me.

For some bizarre reason this website has co-opted it as a term for "people who flip ammo they buy at walmart for a profit". I don't really know why, as all the people that do that here are much older people with nothing better to do at 6 in the morning every day.

Meh, derogatory term used by homo and metrosexuals, unable to raise a whisker, much less a beard, so they lash out from the safety and female-free comfort of their Mom's basements.

I thought "neck beard" referred to someone with an ungroomed beard, such as not shaving the neck.

In the original, classic thread, not only did it become clear this was a "thing," but it became obvious a shitload of arfcommers did it.

It is only to be expected, as the same thing is well documents in shortage economies.  There are literally books on this phenomenon in Communist Russia - it's the transference of cost from price to time, where those with the time to spend, do so.

The people I know who do this are two of the union stewards at the plant I work at.  They get off of night shift and hang out at the closest Wal-Mart until they stock the ammo which is usually around 6:30-7am.  





I started going the the Wal-Mart on my way to work and buying up the .22lr they wanted to buy only to offer to resell it to them.  They flipped their lid.  "This is our profit!"  No, it is whoever is first and honestly, I hate flippers.  One started leaving work before his shift was over and his supervisor wrote him up.  He was livid.  I hadn't been buying .22lr because I really didn't want to troll them anymore but this one guy, he made it his mission to get it before me.  Why did I troll them?  Democrat voters who brought a union into a thriving but mismanaged plant and then took the union herp-derp to the max...and were surprised when the new owners decided to close us.





At least they get to be the last neckbeards there.

A neckbeard is a fat guy that grows a beard on his neck in order to give his face a vaguely human-like shape.

WE could start a complete page or two called "The ARFCOM glossary." Your guide to ARFCOM vocabulary and their definitions.  It would rival Websters.

Like all good things the term started on 4chan. Its been used for years to describe fat, slobby, basement dwelling, autistics who spend hours on /b/ seeking Captain Picard when they're not busy watching MLP.

True. However, there are numerous folks here on Arfcom sporting chin straps that claim that any beard below the jawline is a "neckbeard." I post that video with an aim to educate.

I must have missed those threads, the last one I was in had people dismissing the idea of any neck maintenance whatsoever, as that was supposedly the whole point of growing a beard.

A lot also depends on the length of the beard.  A permanent 2-week look requires more neck maintenance than a full on dwarf beard.
