What does "Mewing" mean?

Pronounced MYOO-ing · W word (positive) · fading — fading

Meaning

Pressing the tongue to the roof of the mouth to sharpen the jawline (pseudoscience from 'looksmaxxing' communities). Kids use it as a joke and a sign to stay silent.

"Can't talk, mewing."

Parent tip

Harmless as a 'be quiet' joke; the underlying looksmaxxing culture is not healthy for teens — watch for appearance obsession.
