neckbeard
Stock chat insult for the unkempt, smug, fedora-tipping nerd archetype.
Definitions
A guy whose only beard grows on his neck — visual shorthand for the pretentious, unwashed, basement-dwelling nerd who well-actually's everything. Used to dunk on someone being smugly pedantic, especially about anime, tabletop, or 'milady'-coded behaviour.
Literal sense: hair growing on the neck where a beard shouldn't be — the physical feature that named the type.
