noun
- (Australia, New Zealand, slang, dated) A beard."The building style can be described as Stalinist Ceremonial at its most relaxed.

- (Australia, New Zealand, slang, dated) A beard."Now he wanted to use electric heat, and electricity was found wanting, and he couldn't understand the difference.
