Anti-Mask League

An organization of Americans opposed to wearing masks during the 1918 Flu Pandemic, which killed 50 million people.

"The 'Anti-Mask League' protest in San Francisco was an orderly protest compared to people fighting in Walmarts today," said Dr. Howard Markel, a medical historian and a physician who leads the Center for the History of Medicine at the University of Michigan. "Today, the anti-mask sentiment has a virulence and violence of its own that we didn't see back then."

Mask Velcro

the effect of a surgical mask getting caught on your chapped or sunburnt lips, mimicking the hook and loop effect of Velcro. People may have experienced this for the first time during the pandemic when they had to wear a face mask out in public after getting sunburnt, and the peeling skin on their lips kept getting caught on their generic surgical mask. Accutane users understand. Cloth masks may not yield the same effect.

“Why do you keep adjusting your mask?”
“I have Mask Velcro after going hiking without putting on sunscreen. As if sunburnt lips aren’t bad enough!”

Maskness

"Maskness"
The irrational fascist enforcement of mask mandates and the subsequent emotional imbalance caused by those found to be in non compliance with local mask mandates. It is what Karen feels.

Karen went apeshit when John showed up at the store without a mask. She attacked him verbally and physically urging him to wear a mask. She went into full maskness.
