weak chin
Undefined lower jaw
A weak chin recedes toward the neck rather than projecting forward, creating a profile where the jawline lacks definition.
The term is both descriptive and judgmental—weak chins have long been associated (unfairly) with weakness of character or lack of resolve: He had a weak chin and watery eyes.
The association persists in casual physiognomy despite having no basis in fact.
