приклади

‘I sport no such flaming burnsides ,’ the ingrate is alleged to have shrieked.

The defendant wore Burnside whiskers of tolerable length, say two or three inches long, of light sandy color.

Like his uncle Henry M Olmsted, he also wore whiskers in the Burnside style, but he started out as a young man with a down turned mustache.

But as the memory of General Burnside faded, the style became known as simply ‘ burnsides ,’ and soon an interesting linguistic flip-flop occurred.

The facial hair term "sideburns" is a variant of " burnsides ," named for U.S. Army Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside, who wore such facial whisker adornment.
