{{quote|''"...and every last inch of me's covered with hair!"''|'''Gaston''', ''[[
In essence it describes a man with a hairy upper body. Generally shown during a [[Shirtless Scene]] or when a guy walks around in a tank-top or an opened shirt. Often indicates evil or an [[Anti-Hero]].
Line 8:
Fuzzy chests or torsos can have different meanings depending on what body type they are used:
'''Type 1)''' When combined with a buff, muscular physique, it's usually to emphasize [[MANLINESS]] or [[Badass
'''Type 2)''' When combined with an [[Fat Bastard|overweight]] body, it is generally to mean a boorish and/or unhygienic character. If used on [[Stout Strength]], it usually indicates a [[Boisterous Bruiser]].
Line 17:
See also [[Shirtless Scene]], [[Walking Shirtless Scene]], [[Rated "M" for Manly]].
