I was Farbing at Northampton Bowl the other night with a few Gold T's, when suddenly we were surrounded by a flock of girls who had forsaken their sketchy Masshole boyfriends for Farb's masculine musk and superlative bowling skills. Farb graciously acknowledged their presence, then rolled a 300 and carved his initials on Evan's forehead. It was, all in all, awesome.

a derogatory term used in the hobby of historical reenacting in reference to participants who exhibit indifference to historical authenticity, either from a material-cultural standpoint or in action. It can also refer to the inauthentic materials used by those reenactors.
Also called "polyester soldiers," farbs are reenactors who spend relatively little of their time or money maintaining authenticity with regard to uniforms, accessories, or even period behavior. The 'Good Enough' attitude is pervasive among farbs, although even casual observers may be able to point out flaws.
