A beard is the collection of hair that grows on the chin, upper lip, cheeks and neck of human beings and some non-human animals.
Coming in many shapes, sizes and colors, the beard is a prominent feature on most men who do not shave (and the occasional woman - though let's not go there). Today, pogonotrophy is normally accepted in society; but in the past, growing a beard could cause quite a few problems. Sprouting your manly facial hair could get you taxed, be a sign of rebellion against the church - or could even get you killed.
The fact here is, why is there a pile of sh*t emoji and not a beard emoji? Get it together people and sign the petition! Long live the beards!
