    When I was a kid, I would read (among other things) X-Men novels. Wolverine wasn’t as popular of a character back then, but he frequently featured prominently. A common descriptor for his character was “barrel chested.”

    I never really knew what that meant before.

      Both of my dogs are barrel-chested, so I understand the concept. My 18 pound chihuahua/dachshund mix has to wear a medium-sized harness because his chest is so big.
