You know those guys who, even right after a close shave, they still look kind of unshaven?

Kind of like this:

What's a word to describe that? I'm spacing right now.

Shadowed?

Swarthy is more of a overall build.

If you say someone is shadowed, I'd probably think George Michael lol or Don Johnson or if you said when Prince went around shadowed. I would envision Grafitti Bridge.

hmmm

Ace, I'm not sure I've ever heard a particular word to describe a guy like this. We could maybe come up with something close, though...

whiskered

hirsute

stubbly

shaggy

barbate (though only an English professor would know this one smile )

I've heard the term "permanent 5 o'clock shadow," so I suppose you could describe a guy with one as "a guy with a... " shrug

Or a guy who is simply shadowed. Accompanied by a gesture to the face, anyone would envision a 5 o'clock shadow?

Hirsute to me suggests back hair. lol Just lots of hair. Back stubble is worse than back hair.

Stubbly, meh. First personal connotation is overweight. lol

Whiskered suggests Englishman in a top hat. lol Or mutton chops. smile

You're right. These all kind of suck, don't they? confused

Soooo, sailor, does this mean you're also "swarthy" and "hot as hell?" batting eyes Pics would go a long way.

...Just sayin'.

Maybe hot as hell (As I'm almost always hot.), but swarthy is not an adjective I'd use for me.

I'll settle for the Org's other fancy lesbian.

You couldn't copyright it. It isn't the facial hair itself. You're only describing it. It only has value if people use it, but since you couldn't enforce a copyright if it became popular, it would be worthless.

Kleenex, and Q-tips for example, are brands that now describe a group of products, rather than a brand. Even though they hold the copyright. They don't sue everyone who calls a tissue a Kleenex. If you can't sue everyone, a court isn't going to let you sue deep pockets.

You can't trademark it because you can't prevent anyone from growing it, and since it grows naturally and it's the individual's face with the hair, they are free to wear it as they see fit subject to reasonable safety and work requirements.

Selling fakes that you can put on for an evening or weekend?
