veiny
Like blue cheese
Veiny describes something prominently marked with veins—blood vessels visible beneath the skin, or vein-like lines on leaves, marble, or cheese.
The word often emphasizes bulging or pronounced appearance: his veiny forearms, veiny hands weathered by age.
In informal contexts, veiny frequently describes an erect penis.
