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.
ROFL :laugh: glad you like my recommendation

It's called TURKEY NECK. Everyone gets it. Even you young punks will some day, and then you won't think it's so funny when young'uns point and laugh at you!! :laugh:

You almost made me laugh out loud with that one...

I was able to contain it though... :)

Haha, I wasn't even aware of how that could be taken. I was just responding to the mere thought of "it". :)

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

Truer words were never spoken!

Its almost the same was older people making fun of/criticizing youngsters even though they were once that age.

But yeah, you're right.

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

Jowels are saggy cheeks.
It's wattles.

No, not that old yet. But I no longer think it's going to be forever to get there. Every year flies by faster than the one before it.
