How Facial Hair Styles Got Their Names

[@NameExplain]

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.

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

Manchu

[@omnirex5184]

A clean shave or a big Viking beard. No in-betweens.

[@SymphoniasStories]

DH has a van dyke.

[@lauratictoc]

boom boom I see what you did there but. Your video is erroneous. I would like to see your evidence for moustache being from Doric Scots. Really. You should reply.

[@Machodave2020]

Definitely the Van Dyke

[@helenbaumander3953]

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.

[@hierophantics4876]

Ron Mael from Sparks also sported one for some reason, probably someone can explain, but I'm not sure.

[@holeeshi9959]

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"

I did the “woo hoo” just a 1/4 of a second before you did. I LOVE that you said it!

[@SupahNin10dohp]

Me tooo

[@Lemanic89]

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.

[@littledreamerrem7021]

I've recently finally begun growing facial hair and it is irritating the heck out of me. Mad props to anyone that can actually put up with it.

[@HopeRock425]

Maybe barba meant "messy mouth" or something which could refer to a beard or messy language.

[@SymphoniasStories]

This cleared up what kind of beard my DH has. Thanks!

[@agrofindastation]

You absolutely forgot to mention the person to totally made the toothbrush mustache famous... Oliver Hardy

[@auldfouter8661]

Baird is the Scottish word for a beard and it is a very common surname in Scotland eg the inventor of television.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Oh, what we all owe to John :)

“Don’t ride a person with a handlebar mustache like a bike unless they specifically ask you to. I tried it once and it didn’t go down well”. -Foote, Patrick 2022 (5:59)

[@CharlesStearman]

I believe the style of beard worn by worn by Edward VII is known as a 'spade' beard from its shape.

[@samwill7259]

Very fair blonde hair, probably keep myself clean shaven. Unless it was hanging down to my chest the fact that my hair is so clear I'd just end up looking scruffy.

[@me0101001000]

Damn, the Toothbrush was in fashion, and then one guy ruined it for everyone. I don't think anything else was put out of fashion like that because of one person.

[@mattt.4395]

I disagree. Charlie Chaplin didn't ruin anything for anyone!

[@SWLinPHX]

He’s referring to Oliver Hardy obviously.

[@jaydengreenberg9618]

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

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

very surprised the Hitler moustache wasn't mentioned...named after Jimmy Hitler - a famous vaudeville trombonist and juggler.

[@allanrichardson9081]

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]

Interesting, I've only seen it spelled "peyes" and pronounced "PAY-ess".

[@allanrichardson9081]

@@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.

[@moonpie1971]

@@allanrichardson9081 Definitely yes on the "Sha-BAT" that I can only hear in my head as, "Shabat Shalom". I was once a nanny for a Jewish family. :)

[@cpt_nordbart]

Facial hair? Yeah I got some of those

[@snardfluk]

Patrick, have you made a video on Spoonerisms? Sideburns is an example. In a Spoonerism the syllables are flipped in a word. Butterfly is another example. The word was originally Futterby.

[@Ghiaman1334]

Wait were they originally Bidesurns?

[@snardfluk]

@@Ghiaman1334 They were named after a man named Spooner, who collected them.

[@Ghiaman1334]

@@snardfluk I meant sideburns, as you listed them as an example

[@snardfluk]

@@Ghiaman1334 They were named after General Burnside as Patrick stated.

[@tomcrowell6697]

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.

[@HuffleRuff]

Huh. Horseshoe mustache. I always called it a bikerstache.

[@randyyy2609]

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.

[@ΘωμάςΜαντζος]

Sideburns were actually named because the sides of the head look somewhat burnt not Ambrose Burnside

[@sydhenderson6753]

They were called Burnsides for a while. Seems like a bit of both.

[@Claro1993]

Now I’m curious how Barbara came to be a feminine name despite the name being related to beards?

[@CAMacKenzie]

Means foreigner, like barbarian.

[@sydhenderson6753]

@@CAMacKenzie Or Xena.

[@noraalmarzooqi8377]

Random fact: i learned the meaning of mutton from killing minecraft sheep😅

[@captainyulef5845]

Same lol

[@brianedwards7142]

You could call my beard a Van Dyke but I was originally going for a Rembrandt look. See The Night Watch by Rembrandt. 🤣

[@wesverine5399]

What about the pants beard?

[@lauratictoc]

moustache from Doric! wow, in Gaelic it's stais (stash). i thought it was French (Edit) It is NOT from Doric. Fact checked

[@Invalid-user13k]

so many facial hair styles are funny

[@Figgy5119]

Fu Manchu moustaches are older than the Fu Manchu character.

[@mattt.4395]

I always thought it was "sole patch"

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

People actually interpreted your character's beard as a mouth? I've been twisting my brain trying to see what they see, and unless it's in an extremely crude, ren-and-stimpy-like style, I just can't do it.

[@jaybee9794]

I moustache you a question... But I'll shave it for later +1 for the algorithm

[@chickadeestevenson5440]

You did miss Peach Fuzz.

[@WhereNothingOnceWas]

Toothbrush mustaches are so goddamn ugly on like 99% of people. It's for the best no one ever grew one after hi- uh, Chaplin,

beard is called parta in Finnish. makes sense now :)

I want to popularize the Captain Lou Albano

[@lmboh8585]

After a career's worth of bosses with bad beards and mustaches, I don't really like facial hair on men. However, I can appreciate a nice beard and/or mustache on a fellow, or dog, or goat, or walrus ;)

[@sohopedeco]

Isn't cavagnac used in English? That style too is named after a dude.

[@Keelsman]

Bravo!

[@Nykona-Sharrowkyn]

Moustache is NOT derived from a Scottish word, it is French

I know! Right! Get him telt. It puts everything else he has told us into question!

[@captainyulef5845]

@@lauratictoc Well, he was right about the rest of the etymology of the word, so it was probably just one little slip up.

i appreciate the gender neutrality in the discussion of facial hair :)

[@MoonLiteNite]

@4:23 wut? how can it be used to portray anyone in a negative way? people need to get over their victim mindset lol it is a trope, i agree, but i never seen anyone be like "HA you have a chinese facial hair and i think i am better than you because of it!
