'It\'s rather common knowledge that long sideburns were very popular during the early 19th Century, and throughout the Napoleonic Era.  But using the term \'sideburns,\' might not be entirely appropriate when discussing this period, as that particular phrase had not yet appeared.  Indeed the name by which we now refer to such whiskers is a much later, mid-to-late Victorian invention, well after the days of Napoleon.  Yet, there are many of us who would claim that the roots of the word are found in the practicalities of a soldier\'s life.  Why is that? And, if it\'s wrong, why do these \'farbisms\' continue so strongly?  For those who are so inclined, have a \'social\' link related to the channel!
