Etymology:

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.
