Mustache is a word that describes the hair growth on the upper lip.
A person can grow a mustache for many reasons, but one of the main reasons is the aesthetic one.
This trend was very common in the 70s, but it seems to have returned in recent years. One possible explanation is that people grow their mustaches to show support for a social cause. One example is people who grow their mustaches in November, also known as Movember.
Movember is a foundation created in Australia in 2003. It consists of the joining of mustache (mustache in English) and November (November in English). In these cases, "Mo" is also used as a shorthand for mustache.
This foundation encourages its participants to grow their mustaches in November. In addition, the foundation also aims to raise funds for the fight against prostate cancer, testicular cancer or men's mental health-related problems.
The Movember Foundation has raised more than $580 million since 2003, to fund scientific research on cancer and other projects related to men's health.
Various accessories such as mustache rings or necklaces were also created so that women can also join this cause.
Thick mustache
In a figurative sense, the expression thick mustache refers to a person who is good at what he does. It is not a literal mustache, but a compliment, an expression that describes someone who has high status and performs their role in an excellent way. Ex: This was the best meal of my life, the chef is thick mustache.
This expression reached popularity through an MC Marcelly song of the same name.
chinese mustache
In terms of aesthetics, the Chinese mustache is the mark of expression on a person's face, which extends from the nostrils almost to the corner of the mouth. It usually appears around 30 years old and has this name because it is similar to a long mustache that was used in the past by some Chinese men.
