layoff beard

"Layoff beard" derives from "playoff beard." A layoff beard is a worn by an unemployed person until he gets a job.

The word's meaning can also be extended to include a law student who decides not to shave until he passes the bar exam.

Your layoff beard is quite fierce, broseph. And I applaud the pajamas-in-public look, too. It's quite...unique.
