A thick mustache that extends beyond either end of a person's lips and often curves slightly downward except when smiling. It is reminiscent to that of Burt Reynolds but was popularised by Cheech Marin of Cheech & Chong.
In Cheech & Chong's "Still Smokin'," the Dutch mistake Cheech for actor Burt Reynolds because of his cheech-stache, and Chong is similarly mistaken to be Dolly Parton.
