Green Beard Altruism 

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.

Shaving my green beard 

Similar in meaning to chinny reckon. Used to express disbelief, always with an exaggerated motion of one hand on the chin, as though shaving/stroking an imaginary beard. It means that whatever the first speaker has said is so fanciful or impossible that another impossible thing must be true.
Person A: My grandfather was King Henry VIII.
Person B: Really? And I'm shaving my green beard.
