This was a joke, right

Read the book Breath mouth breathers!

It's gross. Don't you want to filter what goes into your mouth? Like flies?

The insult isn’t truly about the act of breathing through your mouth…like others have said, it’s shorthand for someone slack-jawed, mouth agape, from stupidity.

It's more than just breathing through your slightly open mouth. It's the gape-jawed, glassy stare look that screams MAGA.

It's that look that Beavis and Butthead have. It's a look that indicates someone isn't all there, because they're spaced out of their minds, or just regurgitate whatever they hear, and aren't capable of developing a coherent and independent thought.

I'm thinking you have never seen a mouth breather or spoke to one because you would not be asking this question if you had.

Mouth breathers actually have lower IQ. It's been proven.

This. Why do old people hang their mouths open all the time?

Usually mouth breathers have a dull, zoned out look about them.

Can someone one please explain to me why being a mouth breather is used as an insult? I mean, I GET that mouth breathing isn’t physiologically optimal, but I don’t understand it as it’s used as a criticism.
