Fleshy for Dummies

Hey there! So, the word "fleshy" is used to describe something that is soft, pulpy, and kind of like, well, flesh. You know, like the meat on your arm or the juicy part of a fruit. When we say something is "fleshy," we're talking about how it's full or plump, and has a soft texture to it, like how a peach or a mango might feel in your hand. Another way to think about it is like when you press your fingertips into your arm and feel the soft, squishy part underneath your skin - that's fleshy!

But "fleshy" can also have another meaning. It can be used to describe something that's excessively or overly full, like if a person has really plump cheeks or really full lips, we might say they have a "fleshy" face. We can also use "fleshy" to describe a plant or a vegetable that has a lot of juicy, pulpy parts that we eat, like a ripe tomato or a succulent pear.

So, in a nutshell, when we say something is "fleshy," we're talking about it being soft, pulpy, and full. It's kind of like the juicy, ripe part of a fruit or the squishy, plump part of your body. I hope that helps you understand what "fleshy" means!
