What does "mewing" mean in appearance slang?
The term "mewing" refers to a technique of placing the tongue against the roof of the mouth in hopes of improving jawline definition and facial structure over time. The structure comes from orthodontist Dr. John Mew's surname. It became popular online through self-improvement and "looksmaxxing" communities, often promoted as a way to enhance facial aesthetics, though its effectiveness beyond basic posture and breathing habits is debated.
Examples
He 's been practicing mewing every day to improve his jawline.
