I used to think burly meant thick-set and certainly never thought of it as in the least sexy, but seeing the pics you've selected to illustrate the word, well, I've completely changed my mind. Burly's fine, burly's good, heck, who am I kidding? Burly is downright gorgeous. I'm loving burly. Let's have burly as often as possible, pretty please!
PS I'm up for a re-evaluation of more words in the dictionary.
The seeming dichotomy is exactly why I looked it up, Enrich. We use the word 'burly' today to represent a large man(in every way) - one who appears to have difficulty pushing himself away from the dinner table.
The dictionary definition above is verbatim although the last few words were omitted because they definitely don't apply in this particular case - they are "rough and hearty in manner; bluff".
Huh? The last words almost contradict the first.
