peer agreement (net): +6had a chest shaped like a barrel and was full of incessant Explanation: I am giving the literal translation here, not necessarily the literary. - Barrel chested means someone with a broad and deep chest. - "a barrel of" is English idiom for "full of" as in "roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun" in a popular song from the 1960's. A "barrel full" for example, is as much as a barrel will hold. [Oxford English Dictionary] |
