[plowter]

Is there a medical term for the 'top lip' - the fleshy triangle between the bottom of the nose and the horizontal edges of the lip?

It is the Plowter, named for someone who kept insisting every random area of body parts one can draw a line around, must have a name.

I think elvis was a better lip curler.

AnneA, toplipidus?

Harumph !!! That's not even a real dinosaur.

I'd have to go with the Selleck, Jeremy has a different connotation amongst the male staff where I work!

[humbersloop]

does it have to be your own body and you drawing round it?

I stick with my original answer: the upper lip.

The *top* lip is the pink bit.

The *upper* lip is the moustache zone, which you are supposed to keep stiff.

Not at all frivolous, OldG.

Youngsters nowadays have various parts of their boy pierced, including their top lip.

When a young modpunk-emogoth-discofolkrocker turns up at casualty with an infected top lip, how do medics describe the area?

'You've got a right manky top lip' doesn't really justify four years of cramming Grey's Medical Anatomy.

Ok joking aside... I don't know what its called. But my brother was involved in a Motorcycle accident years ago (I don't know your age) but his top teeth smashed through his top lip.. .scares were easily visible but without getting more surgery he grew a moustache.. now years later you can't see the scars. he even has lost the scouse look.

What is a scouse look?

lol Chill, a spot on ones Jeremy sounds worst than Selleck, I'll stick with the top lip.

[plowter]

That's true, ark.
Sounds like a horrible injury.
Hope the boy's able to ride now.
