'Five O'Clock Shadow' (shown as 'Five O Clock Shadow' in the puzzle)
refers to the facial hair stubble that appears on a man's face by late afternoon if he shaved in the
morning. According to dermatological research from the American Academy of Dermatology, this phenomenon
occurs because facial hair continues to grow throughout the day. The term originated in the 1930s when
most men shaved every morning before work, as documented by grooming historians. The Gillette Company and
other manufacturers have used this concept in marketing to emphasize the need for quality razors and
regular shaving. This expression represents changing social norms around masculine grooming and the
cultural expectations of professional appearance in mid-20th century America. Sources: American Academy of Dermatology,
