(slang) A sparse or wispy mustache.
(slang) Resembling a cop; policelike.
Informal slang describing behavior, appearance, or mannerisms that are characteristic of a police officer. Someone acting coplike might be overly authoritative, suspicious of everyone, stiff and formal, or just giving off that unmistakable law-enforcement vibe even in civilian clothing. It can be used neutrally or critically depending on context — sometimes it's just an observation, other times it's an accusation that someone is acting like a narc or killjoy at a party.
A crustache is a scraggly, patchy, or barely-there mustache that looks more like a mistake than an intentional style choice. The kind of upper-lip fluff that shows up on teenagers testing puberty or on grown adults who really should know better. Think wispy, uneven, possibly crusty — more fuzz than facial hair, and zero authority. It's not a mustache; it's a mustache's disappointing younger cousin.
