adj

Etymology: Etymology tree English jowl English -y English jowly From jowl + -y.

  1. Having conspicuous jowls; with a double chin.

    […] his strong jaw renders the face indeed “jowly” rather than oval, consequently the expression is normally hard, though open and not ill-humoured, whilst the smile which comes out of it is pleasant.

    Over the last few years, the liberal Democratic image of Vice President Richard M. Nixon as a jowly, blue-jawed villain with a ski-jump nose has receded in the light of his growing stature and achievements.
