Parenthesis Face

Any person, usually an elderly individual, whose facial creases create the shape of parenthesis on either side of their lips.
These "parenthesis" run from the base of one's nostrils to the chin line, placing one's mouth within a set of parentheses.
It is a very unattractive feature, and usually causes one to appear puppet-like, with the chin and lower lip creating the lower part of a puppet's mouth.
Usually obnoxious, rude, obtrusively religious ex-English, now-substitute (sometimes single-school exclusive) teachers possess such a trait.
That parenthesis face really said "God bless you and save you" when I sneezed!
I can't believe she doesn't know how to look through her glasses instead of over them!

Parentheption

A parenthetical aside to a parenthetical aside, or rather, a parenthetical aside INSIDE of a parenthetical aside a play on the "Inception" meme. Parentheption typically works during narratives or criticisms, and can do wonders to add humor to your writing (unless you're just really bad at it).
Josie looked beautiful yesterday (but she did kind of smell (I wish I could come up with a good example of parentheption, as I'm usually a parenthetical whore)).
