Used in South Texas to describe a Mexican-American. Usually taken (by Mexican-Americans) to be pejorative and offensive, similar to the *N* word (but not as strong). Also, in the same way that blacks often call each other the "N" word in jest, I've heard young Mexican-American males call each other "meskin" (e.g. "what's up, meskin?) in jest.
(Spoken by a white): Those meskins are so lazy and dishonest.

(Spoken by a Mexican-American in reply to a white): Hey, we as a people find that word offensive. Please don't say "meskin" around me any more.

Masking is a complex and costly survival strategy for autistic people. It generally involves intentionally learning neurotypical behaviors and mimicking them in social situations. Sometimes masking focuses on hiding behaviors that people feel won't be accepted.
In that way its like putting on your "social mask" so you can interact with people efficiently even though that's now how you normally act or would want to act if you weren't afraid of being seen as strange.
Autistic person: yeah I learned early in school that I should just chuckle whenever someone says something weird to me because they're probably making a joke or smiling whenever someone else is smiling so I don't look out of place

Non-autistic friend: ohh so you mean like masking right?

Autistic person: yeah exactly!

Muck Masking

While defecating and being overwhelmed by you're own vile ass gas you grab a can of air freshener (preferably an areosol can) and blast the toilet water between you're legs. Thus relieving you slightly and allowing you to breathe.
Tom: Man, that mexican food really gave me the shits!

Phil: Really?

Tom: Yeah it was so bad I was gaging and found myself muck masking to breathe!
