ornamental hermit

Also known as a "garden hermit"; a person hired by wealthy landowners in the 18th century to live in solitude in a specially built hermitage, folly, or grotto on their estate, acting as a living decoration. They were expected to embody the qualities of a druid and live a secluded life, often with specific rules like growing their hair and beard long and not washing. In return for their service, they received lodging, food, and a stipend. Landowners and their guests might occasionally consult their garden hermits for advice, stories, or entertainment.
Landowners placed advertisements in local newspapers seeking ornamental hermits to live on their property for long spans of time (7 years, in one instance).One legend goes that someone's ornamental hermit was found drinking at a local pub 3 weeks into their tenure, thus breaching their contract.

chin ornaments

Noun

A playful and somewhat risqué term referring to a man's testicles when they are positioned near someone's chin, often during certain intimate activities. Also used humorously to describe any accidental or surprising chin-to-testicle encounter.
As their romantic evening went on, Sarah couldn’t stop laughing when Jake’s chin ornaments dangled near her chin, making her feel like she was in a dirty game of “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.”

Those funny jewels that hang under a guy’s belt can end up near someone’s chin in a weird moment, like when Amber was so into her Fortnite game that she headbutted her teammate’s crotch, getting a face full of chin ornaments and making everyone laugh hysterically.

Those chin ornaments look so festive, I almost put tinsel on them for Christmas, turning a cheeky moment into a raunchy holiday comedy.

During a slip-and-slide fail, Tom slid right into Joe’s chin ornaments, making everyone laugh like crazy at the ballsy collision.
