Y'know, the skin that old men and women get that kind of flaps back and forth? What's the word for that?

Isn't it like "jowels" or something? Not saying you're wrong, but that doesn't sound like the word I was thinking of.

You know, it's funny to see all the youngins crap all over old people... when sooner than they think, they'll be old as well.

And trust me, it comes a LOT faster than you think it will.

Who said I'm crapping all over old people?! I LOVE old people! I just can't remember what that word is. I'm quite sure I'll have some one day.

Those flaps of skin contain the "old people smell" secreting glands. And all this time you thought they just used too many mothballs.

OK, after the second waddle response, I was forced to go to the only "official" source for this information. According to Urbandicitonary.com:

Waddle

Wattle

Jowel

See? I think it was jowel, as the other two sound like things younger people would have. I just spelled it "jowels" before, so it didn't work.

It should be spelled "jowls" and it's not in urban dictionary (probably because it's a real word?). But that usually refers to droopy cheek flaps like a bulldog. Winston Churchill had jowls. And Alfred Hitchcock.

You're right! I looked that up on m-w.com, but it didn't come up with anything..... because I didn't click on the #2 definition. Now I see it, and it's beautiful.

Still, I think that good times wacky-flaps is even more beautiful, so i'm going with that.
