Word USED On Occasion BY Some People
(n.) • (double chin holder) • Used to jokingly refer to a face mask, as people often wear their masks below their chin so they can pull it up over their mouth and nose quickly when needed. But this looks as if they are using it as a holder for their double chin.
"Guck mal! Da ist wieder jemand mit Doppelkinnhalter."
"Look! There's another person wearing a double chin holder."

Word USED On Occasion BY Most People
(n.) • (face beautifier) • Used ironically during the coronavirus pandemic to express that wearing the face mask makes us look more beautiful ("face beautifier"). In Germany it is illegal to use the official name (Mund-Nasen-Schutz = mouth-nose-protection, only to use for professional and certified medical products) for our homemade masks (especially when they are sold to others). So we created some other funny names for it.
"Einen Moment, bitte, ich muss erst meine Gesichtsverschönerung anziehen."
"One second, please, I need to put on my face beautifier first."
