MUCCHI-RI むっちり
Meanings
The arms, thighs, and other parts of the body are fleshy, and the skin is elastic, as if it is full of substance.
Examples
・The baby’s plump wrists, which look like rubber bands, are irresistibly cute.
輪ゴムをはめたみたいな、赤ちゃんのむっちりした手首がたまらなくかわいい。
Dogmatic Opinion
The wrists of well-nourished babies in the first few months of life are “Mucchiri” around the wrists.
Despite the fact that they are well-fleshed, “Mucchiri” is not a good fit for sumo wrestlers of all shapes and sizes.
I have a feeling that in the case of adults, it is not used for men, but turns into a sexually charged expression directed at a woman’s thighs or buttocks area.
Therefore, it is seldom pronounced “Mucchiri” because no one is likely to be pleased to be described as “Mucchiri”.
The only thing I am allowed to say out loud is to touch a relative’s child and say, “He’s so Mucchiri. He is so cute!”
The baby might be thinking, “Shut up. Don’t touch me.”
