An Al Gore failure beard is the cloak of shame worn by men who have been unemployed for over 90 days and don't have any job leads. I also used it for hopeless people and institutions.
"My dad's job search isn't going well. He is rocking an Al Gore failure beard."

"My buddy got laid off last year, and spends a lot of time on LinkedIn. He'll have to shave his Al Gore failure beard when he finally gets an interview."

"My flight was canceled last night, even though we only had an inch of snow. American Airlines is the Al Gore failure beard of the airline industry."
