She's not ugly, but nor is she pretty. She's thoroughly homely.

Does homely mean something different over there?  Over here it pretty much means ugly.

I think she was above average-looking overall.  She had a really nice, athletic body fo' sho'.  She looked really cute in the pic I saw of her as a teen.

I'd rather bang the secretary.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

She is kind of hair and dogfaced in that last picture.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That's what the Russians said.

No clue, never heard of it meaning different things elsewhere, as I understand it, it means just plain.
Ugly means eww, get it away from me, horrid looking. Homely on the other hand is just...nothing special to look at in either a ugly or pretty sense. Just...meh.

Meh is kinda negative, just like homely or mediocre. A step below ordinary.

Yeah, I'm guessing it was used a while ago as a more polite way to say "ugly" but got used that way so much it became a synonym.

:yes:  Typically it was used by people like my grandmother and folks her age, who made an effort to actually be polite, unlike us. :moon:

My favorite one was always "heavy-set".  Never quite got how that was supposed to be more polite than "fat" or "overweight".
