pectoral

In modern daily conversation, "pectoral" is most commonly used as an adjective to describe chest muscles, often shortened to "pecs" in casual fitness contexts. When used as a noun referring to jewelry, it is a more formal or archaeological term and is rarely used in everyday fashion descriptions.

Ryan's totally bombing his pectoral flys. His form is a joke.

Typical. He probably thinks he's slaying while doing absolutely nothing.

💡
Maya uses 'bombing' as slang for failing miserably, and Chloe uses 'slaying' (internet slang for doing something impressively) ironically to mock Ryan's lack of effort at the gym.
