beardfire
A slang term for confusion or a state of existential crisis (e.g. quarter life crisis), akin to the Indonesian phrase "kebakaran janggut". It describes moments of intense questioning about life choices, direction, or identity.
After changing careers for the third time this year, I’m definitely experiencing some serious beardfire about where my life is headed.
