What does the term “rodent man” mean?

Rodent Man is a phrase used to describe male celebrities – think Jeremy Allen White, Barry Keoghan, Matty Healy – whose physical characteristics mirror those of rodents, such as a pronounced nose, large ears and small, beady eyes.

According to American tabloids, these facial features are actually the most physically desirable thing a man can have in this new gentle era of American history.
