"nose slingers"
- smcl 6y agoThat’s a nice phrase. In my group we called it “dick-nosing” - iirc it came about due to: 1) you wouldn’t (shouldn’t?) go around with your dick hanging out of your trousers, so why would you do the same with your nose and your mask 2) you’re a dick if you do this
- MaulingMonkey 6y agoA decent amount of it is unintentional I suspect. Subconcious fiddling, poor feeling / awareness of slipping masks... a gentle reminder that "your mask has slipped a bit" can do wonders.
- yissp 6y agoSimilarly, a gentle reminder when one's dick accidentally slips out of one's trousers is also appreciated.
- ethbr0 6y agoToo rarely does good, cutting satire grace HN.
- morlockabove 6y agoSome responses to that will be (in the spirit of) coughing in the speaker's face.
- MaulingMonkey 6y agoSo far nobody's coughed in my face, in spirit or otherwise.
- mirekrusin 6y agoSeen a guy on the street taking off mask to do giant sneeze, put it back on afterwards promptly. His wife facepalmed. To his defence he’d probably have to wear juicy mask if he didn’t do it.
- pwg 6y agoMy interpretation is that this is referring to those individuals who are wearing a surgical type mask, with the top of the mask resting on their upper lip and their nose not covered by the mask.
- dboreham 6y agoYes. I get the impression that often they simply don't know how to put these masks on -- you need to pull them apart somewhat so they extend from the nose bridge to the chin. If you don't know that's how they're fitted, you'll end up with either of the nose or bottom of the mouth uncovered.
