Was Abraham Lincoln a neckbeard?

I believe that the term "neckbeard" refers more to the person's lifestyle or some vague social construct that person is identified with, rather than general appearance of that person.

To clarify, having a beard on one's neck doesn't necessarily equal being a "neckbeard".

This man does understanding.

Hasta must be a neckbeard. He posts like one

(I kid!!)

edit: guess I should say something on topic... he stood up for a certain philosophy that he believed was more correct than everyone elses. Isn't that one of those "neckbeard" requirements?

Another interesting point I think is how the negative intonations of the word neckbeard when associated with a respected historical figure have caused many people to overlook the simple fact that, while Abraham Lincoln was a great man, he does indeed fulfill many of the requirements of being defined as a neckbeard. Unkempt facial hair. Intelligent. Socially inept enough to get himself killed by his peers.

I think this Lincoln did not became murder from social inept.

No, social ineptitude definitely was not an issue. He was considered a great lawyer and orator. He just pissed off all the slave owners and other such anti-federal government groups.
