Raising a mustache
I have never heard the term raising a mustache other than when Ward says it to Wally. Have you?

No, I've never heard that one either. I've always heard, growing a mustache or beard.
Maybe it's what they said in the Seabees. |

It's Shaker Heights slang.

It was an old expression back in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. In Sister Carrie Eddie Albert says he might try raising a mustache.
