In the world there are many amazing items, personalities, and moustaches. Moustaches is the proper way of saying the plural form of moustache, but I think there are many better ways of saying this as a plural.
I think it’s about time the student body steps up to commit to the change of the plural form of the word “moustache.”
Look at the plural of another word, geese, as in “there is a gaggle of geese over there!” This is a fun alternative and sounds
way better than “look at all those gooses.”
That’s why my first recommendation is changing moustaches to “moustese”, This in fact sounds a tad more formal than
moustaches.
Just imagine a rich man with one of those cool waxed twisted moustaches saying to his son “Son I have had many cool
Moustese in my lifetime”, this is a more elegant pronunciation of the word.
If you just aren’t feeling the word “moustese” maybe the word mousteves, is more your speed.
This is derived from the plural of leaf, which would be leaves. I would recommend this change being made for all men named Steve with a cool moustache.
This could be used in the sentence “Hey guys, Remember Steve from high school? Man that guy sure did have a lot of cool
mousteves”. This new form of the word will make sure Steve’s moustache never goes unremembered again.
My last proposition and honestly, my favorite is moustachi.
This is derived from the plural of octopus, and sounds the most mysterious and risky much like men with a moustache, and even like a woman with a moustache, yikes.
The word moustachi can be used in a wide variety of situations such as, “man did you see that cool group of guys with moustachi?” or even “Dude your aunt Berta kind of freaks me out she’s had seven moustachi in her life”.
Moustachi is an all around great term, and should be adopted into the English language. It not only sounds better than moustaches, it adds a great deal of mystery that every man or woman with a moustache deserves.
If you feel adventurous use all three terms such as “Steve has had the coolest moushteves over the years, but nothing can really compare to all my rich uncle Mike’s moustese, but all I really want to see is more moushtachi like all the cool guys in high school had”
Remember my fellow students; Webster isn’t the only one who should be allowed to make new words.
Except we all really need to stop with YOLO. Seriously guys it should have never happened.
