EDIT: word chewing is NOT when the words in the audio don’t match up with someone’s lips. Out of synch lip-synching is not word chewing.
Just thought I’d turn this into a post because there have been a lot of posts recently that are not word chewing. No, I don’t think I’m the keeper of the chews but I do know what it is.
Word chewing is not just silly or cringy singing or lip-syncing. Word chewing is most definitely cringe but it’s when someone is talking, singing, talking, lip-syncing, etc…. and purposefully applies a lot of excess mouth movement beyond just mouthing the words. Here is a good example https://www.reddit.com/r/wordchewing/comments/tsrhz3/jinx_does_not_care_enough_to_move_the_muscles_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
EDIT: More extreme example - https://www.reddit.com/r/wordchewing/s/s3IxdXjjjy
See the kind of side to side movement that goes beyond just word-mouthing like she’s chewing on something while talking almost?
Here’s another:
Both of the examples are of people who were infamous word-chewers but have stopped doing it from what I’ve seen.
EDIT: One more thing - you can identify word chewing with the sound off because it has nothing to do with the sound.
Ohhhhhh I've always called this Pixar mouth. They talk like Pixar characters, specifically vanelope vom schweets
Yeah, Pixar mouth or cartoon mouth is prob a good descriptor.
Or anime mouth.
That was one of Vabeloope characteristics because If I am not wrong she was always chewing gum.
Oh! I just hate bladder leakage.
Just 3D animated characters in general, doesn't have to be Pixar at all
Wreck It Ralph isn't a Pixar movie.
I just keep seeing the faces from Tangled that I watched when my kid was little.
Maybe add some examples of what’s not word chewing.
Maybe I should.. didn’t really want to single people out in this post. I’ll consider that.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. There's endless non word chewing videos posted here. I don't understand why as the name of the sub explains what the videos should be quite well. Word chewing is when people over exaggerate their mouth and lip movements while talking or singing to an unnatural level in TikTok videos. They often look like they are literally chewing words or the air as they do it. That's it.
I'm always disappointed when a new video is posted on here and it's just a basic cringe one. Lame.
PastelBunniii on TikTok is the definition of word chewing
This has to be the cringiest sub ever holy fuck
It is a cringe sub!
Methinks you did protest too much.
You second example made me understand what this is. It’s like Popeye trying to sing but using both sides of his mouth. How strange
I neglected to include some other categories of word chewers. One I can think of offhand is the Jim Carey-inspired chewer.

Okay, so word chewing doesn't necessarily have to include words
Right. It’s mainly about the mouth movements but it would be weird if it was totally silent.
"This is not a place to post cringe content" on a sub literally dedicated to the most cringe content available on the internet
Who are you quoting? In my post I said, “word chewing is most definitely cringe”
Oh I was quoting the community description, not you lol
So, is this kind of a proto-word chewing example? (Apologies in advance for...what it is)
I hate that I clicked on that link and that I had to remember that video existed
I forgot I made this comment, so same.
I don't know which is more disappointing? The fact that I read this entire post, the fact that somebody put time and effort it writing and editing this post, or the fact that the subject matter is a real thing that exists and people, including myself, have wasted their time on it.
I have no idea what compelled me to join this community. It’s a sub for very specific social train wrecks. And yet, here I am.
Also, thanks for the clarification on what word chewing is and isn’t. I imagine that should be the criteria for what does or doesn’t get upvoted?
It should be but it’s often not. Like most Reddit subs, cute females get more upvotes
Ha! Facts.
I hate whoever made this sub. What have you done.
I also need to know this. It seems to silly to me but they appear to have a good time doing this.
I always thought actress Ali Wong was overly exaggerated with her mouth when she talks. I never knew there was an actual term for it!
This is cartoonishly exaggerated. Pretty Much no one is going to be doing it in their normal talking
My daughter was watching American Housewife. I just noticed this while I was watching. Quite annoying to me.
It's common problem for me, Im Russian and recently started to learn English and sometimes when Im talking to other person end of one word can mix with the beginning of other one and Im gonna start mumbling for no reason. Only way to stop this for me is stop talking and say the sentence again.
That’s not word chewing though. 🙂
Nit word chewing, seems like you just get mixed between your native words and English.
That's what that is?! Oh, that's not new. Young folk have been doing that since the Long Long Ago. In the Before Times.
That's part of that female's act though - an act that is getting really, really old. There's another one that wears what looks like clown makeup - mostly red. Too many people are copying it (and other trends, which is pretty much expected for a trend).
We really seem to be going in the direction of Idiocracy and Wall-E
I guess you can put Ready Player One in there as well. Isn't that the movie with folks in their shitty homes wearing VR headsets? 🤔 I believe Gamer was similar but more focused on the main actor controlling Gerard. I'll have to see those two again, I guess. They were unique movies, unlike these folks on Tiktok copying others just for views.
I just learned this was a thing today. I never knew people did this. I am so sad I know this now.
Wordchewing faces.
The rules state no cringe, but isn't all of it cringe?
It is cringe. That sentence in the description just means this isn’t a dumping ground for any cringe. It’s a specific thing.
Isn't word chewing when they lipsync/talk/sing but the mouth is always closed? A (theoretic or actual) diction so bad it sounds like there's actually something in their mouth?
No. Not for the purposes of this sub.
Huh. That's what I always saw called weird chewing... Do you know what that's called then?
Holi
Is... is this a fetish thing?
No. It’s cringe-shaming.
This is def a fetish. Or at least a kink. These girls really think this is the new sexy thing, huh?
i always though this stemmed from anime.... never understood why what's her face made so much bank off it. society is wild

Please... Please shut the fuck up.
I’m chuckling now in retrospect at my own completely humorless analytical breakdown.
I came across emma norton’s tiktok page last night..the facial expressions & word chewing!!! It drove me crazy!
