Definition:
Maskquerading the practice of keeping up appearances but only providing lip service to social distancing guidelines that curb the spread of Covid-19. Typically performed by Millennials and older image conscious liberals (see Tesla drivers). Excludes those who actually care. Also, generally excludes Gen Z, Republicans, and #MAGA Supporters who don’t even try to keep up appearances ‘cause they don’t give a fuck.
Usage:
Paul: Damn, EB. That face mask is 🔥! Didn’t realize you were concerned about COVID. Is it N95? Noticed you drinking White Claw through it
Eugenio: Shit, more like N01. I'm just maskquerading by wearing this retro mesh jersey around my face for looks. Social distancing don’t matter, we’re millennials!
I was super stoked to find someone who’s also taking COVID guidelines seriously, but she’s totally maskerading! She posted an Instagram storylast night and she was at a huge house party
