Hairy Bean Man [HBM]

A Hairy Bean Man - HBM for short - is a term used to describe a certain type of laid back, crunchy, shaggy hippie guy. They are generally short - under 6" tall - skinny, guys with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes who abide like the Dude and toke up like Tommy Chong. Hair⋅y (Pronunciation hair-ee, adjective) is derived from the usual bearded, shaggy and/or Mountain Man-esque appearance of the HBM. Bean (Pronunciation been, noun) comes from the traditional diet of the HBM, which is usually vegetarian or at least as crunchy as they are. As hippies, many HBMs are also vegetarians, and must get their protein from sources other than meat, i.e. beans. Man (noun) : obvious reasons.
