So for weeks months now. The debate has been going strong. Everywhere we go my husband and I are asking people, “What is a handlebar moustache?” The world is quite conflicted over this. Right now you are probably thinking “Duh, this is a handlebar moustache.” And you are picturing the way you see it in your mind. But not all of us are picturing the same thing.
Being very scientific about this dilemma, we decided to conduct a poll. On facebook. So you know it is legit. The results were shockingly close. A. 14 votes B. 12 votes. Our question still remains unanswered because both sides are very adamant about what a handlebar moustache is. So I’ve conducted some research.
According to Wikepedia, A. is a handlebar and B. is a horseshoe.
- Handlebar – bushy, with small upward pointing ends. See baseball pitcher Rollie Fingers.
- Horseshoe– Often confused with the Handlebar Moustache, the horseshoe was possibly popularized by modern cowboys and consists of a full moustache with vertical extensions from the corners of the lips down to the jawline and resembling an upside-down horseshoe. Also known as “biker moustache.” Worn by Hulk Hogan.
This case may not be closed. What do you think? Have you been a firm believer one way or the other? Has this information changed your mind any?
I'd love to hear your ideas!
