- The defendant wore Burnside whiskers of tolerable length, say two or three inches long, of light sandy color.
- But as the memory of General Burnside faded, the style became known as simply ‘burnsides,’ and soon an interesting linguistic flip-flop occurred.

Origin
Late 19th century: named after General Ambrose Burnside (1824–81), American army officer.
