| a 5 o'clock shadow | щетина (The typical American workday ends at "five o'clock' in the afternoon. A "shadow" is a patch of darkness, or a hint of the presence of something. After spending a full day at work for eight or more hours, many men have a noticeable growth of facial hair, which is dark like a "shadow" and hints at the beard that would grow if left unshaven.
