Basically the ones I have, hopefully, so far.

00:18
So, it would be very, very easy if we talked about face hair, but we can't say that.
3

00:31
We have to say facial hair and as you know by studying English, things are not as easy
4

We have our, let's call it our head hair, just to be funny, but it's actually just hair.
11
86760
7560
01:34
Also note that we don't say hairs, because hair is a non-count verb.
12
94320
5360
01:39
So we always refer to this just as hair.
13
99680
3980
01:43
You're going to say I had my hair cut, not my hairs.
14

35
239680
6080

their chinny chin chins.

43
295560
6320
05:01
I don't know why they call them burns, because nothing is on fire, but I can understand the

05:13
side bit, sideburns.
45
313160
3680
05:16

7080
06:22
A beard is all of your facial hair growing in.
56

3600
06:25
The pronunciation is like one of my favorite drinks, beer, "d".
57
385840
