Tash

/tæʃ/ noun

Etymology

British slang shortened from 'mustache,' which comes from French 'moustache,' ultimately from Italian 'mostaccio' and possibly Greek or Arabic roots referring to the mouth area.

Kelly Says

The word 'tash' became especially popular in British culture during the 1970s when large, flamboyant mustaches were a fashion statement—think Freddie Mercury's iconic look that made facial hair an art form.
