Neckbeard????

Ahh…..the neckbeard….

It’s become a sort of term of endearment or familiarization with some of my friends so we use it amongst ourselves in a goodnatured way, no insult intended.

That being said, in its most derogatory usage, a “neckbeard” is generally considered to be someone of little substance, with no marketable skills or aspirations for anything beyond fulfilling an immediate need. This usually entails attempting to purchase goods for resale at a ridiculously reduced price (lowball). The neckbeard is someone small minded enough to think that buying up all the .22 LR at Walmart or other discount stores at regular retail and then hauling it around town to resell to pawn brokers, gun shops or at the flea market for a $5 to $10 per box markup is a viable business plan. They are often retired or on SSI disability (yet strangely can carry a hundred pounds of .22LR) so they have plenty of time to drive around playing.

Some would argue they perform a valuable service by hoarding .22 and then making it available for sale, say when a trailer lot payment is due or the Pinto needs re-Bondo'ing. They can be spotted at Walmart around 5:00 - 6:00 a.m. and they'll likely have their wives or cousins in tow (usually one in the same) to buy up 'their' 3 box limits also. Neckbeards without family members around may sometimes be spotted by a growth of hair on their necks, not really a beard, just too lazy to shave since that will often involve the use of soap and water, something almost all neckbeards avoid like the plague. If you get close enough you can confirm any suspicion if they speak to you because their breath will smell of goat's ass.

So, I've been an ODT member for a few years. Just got kind of active lately on some of the threads and such. Its a lot of fun. But........I keep seeing this term Neckbeard????? In my 68 years I've never encountered this term and I've been to 9 county fairs and a competitive goat breeding contest. Youda thunk I would have heard it by now????? Could someone please post a visual of what a Neckbeard is. I just don't think a written description is gonna do it for me. Your help is appreciated!

I'm younger than you and I didn't know what it meant either. This has been enlightening.
