Aye, this is a great one. I dog-sat a boxer for some friends last week and have had enough jowls in my face to last the rest of the year. Jowls are best when they're floppy and covered in drool, and they make that flubbery sound when the dog shakes itself.

Jowls are those big bags of skin that hang just off of your jawbone where your jawbone attaches to your skull. Think Jabba the Hut cheeks or the Fat Lady at the circus.
