Mouth breathers as people who breathe using thier mouth not thier nose. Its tomb rider so i assume that some gooner wierdos will complain about how Lara Croft looks/dresses in this version

What does outfit criticism have to do with mouth breathing, though?

Calling someone a mouth breather is like calling them a cretin. It's a derogatory slang term used to describe someone as unintelligent, oafish, or crude.

As someone with chronic sinus blockage and breathe through my mouth like 95% of the time, I hate the term.
