“What is a ‘lantern jaw?'"

Danny from Ardoyne wonders what a ‘lantern jaw’ is. He thinks it's to do with the cheeks.

“Quick question for you!” says Danny from Ardoyne. “Have you ever heard of a man referred to as ‘lantern jaws?’ I heard a woman call a man that this morning but I've no idea what it means!”
“Och, Danny!” Sean says. “’Lantern jaws’? Is it someone with a long jaw?”
“It’s not a compliment!” says Iris in Ballyclare. It's anyone with cheeks sort of sunk in, very thin, a thin face, and a sharp chisel chin."
" I thought it was a man with red cheeks, like a lantern,” says Danny.
“Fred Astaire was an example,” says Iris.
“We’ll park it there,” Sean says, “in case we get anyone else named!”
With music from The Turtles, Anne Murray, Brian Hyland, and more.
