bigote
/biˈɡote/ · B1 · noun · m
mustache
🥸 bigote sounds like big goatee, but it sits above the lip
Say it as big + goatee: bi-GO-te. One folk etymology traces it to the German oath bei Gott (by God), said by moustached Swiss or German soldiers. It is masculine: el bigote, and often plural: los bigotes, for a cat's whiskers.
