@Hypnobeard There's "mustachio", which is delightful (the word tickles almost as much as an actual mustache!) but it is barely a separate word.
Now you've got me wondering if there are languages that have multiple words for mustache. Hmm...

@Hypnobeard German has some *amazing* words for moustache, but I don't understand the differences between them. Would any kind German speakers care to explain?
Oberlippenbart
Schnurrbart
Schnauzbart
Schnäuzer / Schnauzer
@Hypnobeard Scottish Gaelic seems to be the moustache jackpot, with multiple words for moustache!
I don't fully understand the distinctions between them, but based on the etymologies, some of them seem quite derogatory. 😂
mustais
stais
balt
feusag-bheòil
ròibeag
réibean
ròibean
caisean-feusaig
While I envy Scottland the linguistic richness of its moustache vocabulary, I can't see us adopting these into English anytime soon. 😂
@Hypnobeard I need to share that I've just learned that the Slovak word for moustache is "fúz". (Seriously!)
This is making me very happy.
