Went looking for weirdos and found a genuine crank. It's like treasure!

Maybe a bit of cognitive diffidence would've helped.

In present day, it means someone who wants to have facial hair but either doesn't groom it, or doesn't know that they have to groom it, or is unaware that it looks like poo poo, or any of a number of other combinations of failure to meet the modest responsibilities of beard maintenance.

There are some rare fashion circumstances where someone might grow a neckbeard intentionally, but this is pretty much a 19th-century and/or Amish look, and even in those cases it is not an ungroomed beard but merely a differently-groomed one.

TV Tropes even has a trope about how it's bad to avoid using "said," but there are no anime examples so Tropers didn't take the lesson to heart.

"Said" becomes invisible like "the" unless you hosed up in a way that can't be fixed by using synonyms.

The word for that is "scientism."

Every time you see a drinking game with too many rules on TV Tropes, take a drink.
