I hair you!
A crossword puzzle this morning wanted a word meaning "defies", and I'd gotten as far as "bea__s" before giving up. Clearly I had some letter wrong. Nope! According to Webster, there's an old usage of "to beard" which means "to defy". I kind of look forward to the opportunity to shout out "ha, I beard you, old man!" in the coming days.

This also suggests that ZZ Top was a much more anarchistic band than I had thought they were...

Mustache are just little tiny beards... So they just must be little white lies. :) (I swear I don't know what my Spellchecker is thinking I'm spelling sometimes...

Or to sideburn someone. Or, heaven help us, to soul patch someone.
