Sometimes I check up on a prompt with either a synonym dictionary or a German-English dictionary simply because my photos are tagged in German and I want a few options when I’m looking for a fitting photo. Funnily, this time “incipient” had four adjective translations on dict.leo.org and the first noun given was “incipient jowls”. I immediately knew what I was going to post.

I mean, look at the guy. That kind of mutton chops must be worn to conceal incipient jowls! Why else!

^{PS: In case you’re wondering it’s the German emperor Wilhelm I, how he is usually depicted on war memorials in remembrance of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-71, the last one “we” “won”.}
