Guerilla Booze-Catcher
From Wiki Frakr
Guerilla Booze-Catcher refers to the beard worn by Saul Tigh during his leadership of the Resistance on New Caprica.
"Booze-catcher" is a colloquial term for a beard, much as is to "soup-catcher". However, the term is usually used jokingly, and not to mean that the hair is in fact a prehensile appendage used to catch falling liquor containers. Of course, we're usually not talking about Saul Tigh.
Throughout history, men leading insurrections have often worn beards. Though sometimes the wearing of a beard is religiously prescribed by particular factions, it is also a way of distinguishing oneself from the (often clean-shaven) soldiers of the opposing military. They're also sexy, and look good in monochrome reproductions of leaders' portraits.
