mentonist

A mentonist is a colloquial term used to describe someone who is overly fond of or preoccupied with their chin, or "menton" in French. This can manifest in various ways, from an exaggerated or frequent resting of the chin on one's hand to an unusual emphasis on the chin's appearance or prominence. The term is not a recognized psychological or medical condition but rather a descriptor for a particular behavioral trait or aesthetic interest.

Individuals who are playfully labeled as mentonists might adopt poses that highlight their chin, engage in conversations about chin aesthetics, or even undergo cosmetic procedures to alter their chin's shape or size. In some contexts, it can be a humorous observation about a person's mannerisms or vanity. The term is rarely used in formal settings and is more likely to appear in casual conversation or lighthearted commentary. There is no formal definition or established body of research associated with the concept of a mentonist, distinguishing it from clinically recognized behaviors.
