Hmm - still puzzled   Written by Line (10/12/2005 12:22 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Under-hung, penned by Cheryl
Are you new?

My NCE agrees with you, Cheryl. The note says that "under-hung" means "Having a projecting lower jaw", but I always thought under-hung must mean having a weak or receding chin, like the upper-class "chinless wonders" people would joke about some two and a half centuries later!
