Definitions

  1. having sagging folds of flesh beneath the chin or lower jaw

Word origin

From jowl + -y.

Used in a sentence

  • […] 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.
