Robert Christgau Word of the Day

prognathous adj Having the jaws projecting beyond the upper part of the face; -- opposed to orthognathous.(dictionary.reference.com)

Aerosmith Get Your Wings [Columbia, 1974]

These prognathous New Englanders are musicianly (all things are relative) inheritors of the Grand Funk principle: if a band is going to be dumb, it might as well be American dumb. Here they're loud and cunning enough to provide a real treat for the hearing-impaired, at least on side one. Have a sense of humor about themselves, too, assuming "Lord of the Thighs" is intended as a joke. With dumb bands it's always hard to tell. B- (www.robertchristgau.com)
