Short conversational transcript from a YouTube clip explaining the informal practice called “mewing.” Speakers describe mewing as placing the tongue on the roof/gums and clenching the teeth to ‘improve your jawline’ for photos/appearance; one speaker notes it can hurt a little. The tone is casual and explanatory among multiple young speakers.

What is mewing?
It's like improving your jawline.
Improving your jawline?
Yeah.
And why in the world an 8 year old needs to improve their jawline?
For photos. For photos.
Okay. To look good.
Yeah.
Okay. How do you do that?
Put your tongue on top of your gum and then with here.
The teeth.
The teeth.
You.
You clench your teeth.
Yeah.
Oh, I see this. Got it. Does it hurt?
A little.
Okay. Don't mew at home.
