It is so interesting to me to watch beards and mustaches come in and out of fashion through the years. I'm delighted to know that the study of beards is called pogonology.

Thanks for the addition to my vocabulary!

Pogonology would be a fun word for the Dictionary Game. I also liked Whitman's preservation of 1850s Manhattan slang - foofoo.
