Five-O'clock Shadow

five o'clock shadow or five-o'clock shadow

noun

1. the rather dark stubble that appears on a man's face some hours after shaving, typically in the late afternoon if he shaved in the morning.

The actor who played Gregory House, MD always seemed to have one.

Mine usually looks like that too. Sadly, I have shoulder length hair with a very receding hairline. I only shave my cheeks and neck. The look that I have is American bagman. Given that there is a lot of gray that doesn't get colored, it makes me look even older.

I am unapologetic. Fortunately, I can't get fired for my poor, outdated look.
