When you have a short beard and like velcro it catches onto things like hair, your shirt, and other clothing. It’s usually painful.

Ouch! I keep getting velcro-beard in my sweater.

This term is used for people who have spent 9 years or more on the internet, knowing so many things about the internet, one could say they might have created it. Senior programmers also count as White Beards in some cases.

Greenbeard altruism is a fascinating concept in evolutionary biology that attempts to explain the evolution of altruistic behavior. It proposes that a single gene (or a set of tightly linked genes) can be responsible for three distinct traits: a noticeable signal or "tag" (like a green beard), recognition of that signal in others, and altruistic behavior directed towards those with the same signal. This allows individuals to selectively cooperate with others who share the same gene, even if they are not related. 1 While the "green beard" example is hypothetical, there are real-world examples of this phenomenon in various organisms, highlighting the potential for cooperation to arise through mechanisms beyond kin selection.
Green beard altruism, while theoretically possible, is rarely observed in nature due to the complex requirements of a single gene controlling the signal, recognition, and altruistic behavior.

The act of one with a beard longer than 2 inches grouping many hairs on their face with one hand and pulling downwards, showing the length of their beard. Usually done in a flirtatious manner but could also be used to deter one from asking too much.
'Bro, Joe just did a beard pull, he either likes this chick or she said he was wrong about something so he needs to bide time."
