What does Jowl really mean?

Jowl is a word that might seem a little strange at first, but don't worry, I'm here to help you understand it! We use this word to talk about a specific part of an animal's face, and sometimes even a person's face. It's that area that's below the jaw and just in front of the ears.

Imagine you're looking at a picture of a dog or a cat, and you notice those big floppy cheeks they have. Those cheeks are actually their jowls! They can be really soft and squishy, just like if you were to touch your own cheeks when you make a funny face.

But, jowl is not just about animals. People can have jowls too. Do you know when you eat something really yummy and it makes you want to chew some more? Sometimes, if we eat too much of that delicious food, our cheeks might get a little bigger, and that's when we could say we have jowls.

Another way we use this word is in cooking. Have you ever seen a recipe that called for jowl bacon? Well, that's bacon that comes from the jowls of a pig. It's a little different from the bacon you're probably used to, but some people really like the flavor.

So, to sum it all up, jowl is a word we use to talk about the part of an animal's face that's below the jaw and in front of the ears. But remember, jowls are not just for animals. People can have jowls too, and sometimes we even use the word to talk about a specific type of bacon. Now, doesn't jowl sound a little less confusing?
