Stache

What is stache short for?

Mustache

Stache (pronounced "stash") is a cool, shortened way to say "mustache," whether online, in texts, or in person. It's perfect for when you need to talk about that impressive upper lip hair but don't want to say the whole word.

You'll often hear stache paired with other words to add some flair, like "cop-stache" for a police officer's big, bushy mustache or "lady-stache" for when a woman is rocking some upper lip peach fuzz. Stache is a go-to term for many facial hair novices and mustache enthusiasts, like movember participants, everywhere.

Origin of stache

The exact origin of the "stache" abbreviation is unclear. However, many sources point to a publication of the Portsmouth (Ohio) Times in 1963 as the first recorded instance of the stache abbreviation.
