The link doesn't work properly - you will need to select "Lens correction"
from the sidebar.  And he does mention moustaches.

It's a combination of pincushion and barrel distortion - barrel in the
centre, pincushion at the edges (for example).  There's a good illustrated
discussion here, though he doesn't use the term Moustache. But don't worry,
I don't think he has anything against facial hair.

What the hell is complex moustache distortion?
I can think of 400 witticisms involving various forms of osculation and
latte filtering so please, put me out of my misery.
