thick lip

Bruised mouth edge

Thick lip refers to lips that are full or fleshy.

The phrase has historically appeared in racist descriptions of Black people's facial features, making it offensive in that context.

Separately, a thick lip can mean a swollen lip from injury: He came home with a thick lip after the fight.
