What is mewing slang?

There isn't a widely recognized, established "mewing slang" in the same way there is for other online communities or subcultures. The term "mewing" itself refers to a controversial facial posture technique, and while online communities dedicated to it exist, they don't have a distinct, widely-used slang lexicon.

However, you might encounter some informal terms or inside jokes within these communities, often revolving around:

  • Variations of "Mewing": People might use terms like "maxillary advancement" (a more formal term for the underlying concept), "proper tongue posture," or even playful abbreviations or nicknames.

  • Descriptive terms for incorrect posture: Terms like "mouth breather," "tongue down," or descriptions of specific bad habits might be used informally.

  • Names of proponents or techniques: You might see references to specific individuals or YouTubers who advocate for mewing, or specific variations of the technique they describe.

  • Results and progress: Terms related to changes in facial structure, jawline definition, and other claimed benefits might be used in a casual, descriptive way.

It's important to note that much of the discussion around mewing is subjective, and the effectiveness of the technique is not scientifically proven. Therefore, slang terms are likely to be less standardized and more localized to particular online groups. Any slang you encounter will likely be understood only within the context of the specific mewing community where it originated.
