sideburns, large hair growth on the sides of the face; slices of lamb meat
Sideburns (or colloquially sideboards or mutton chops) are patches of
facial hair on the sides of a
man's face, in front of the
ears. They were originally called burnsides after
Ambrose Burnside. His hairstyle connected thick sideburns via the
moustache but left the chin
clean-shaven.Sideburns may end at mid-ear level; they may end at the earlobe; or they may extend downward and follow the jawline, nearly meeting at the chin. Some men shave or clip their sideburns at the very top of the ear so that there is a straight line. They can be slender or wide, clipped closely or allowed to grow bushy. They can end in points, or bluntly, and be either cut squarely or flared wide, following the hairline on the upper cheek. They can be worn alone, or in combination with a moustache or a
goatee. However, when they extend from ear to ear via the chin, the sideburns are merely part of the
beard, and thus are not known as such. In the latter part of the 20th Century, pointed sideburns became a symbol of the gay club scene predominant in San Francisco and Sydney, Australia.
