Fleshy, Fleshly - English editing.

Fleshy relates to flesh in its physical sense and means primarily ‘plump, fat’ (e.g. fleshy hands, fleshy fruit) whereas fleshly relates to the more metaphorical sense of flesh, and means ‘carnal, sensual, sexual’, as in fleshly desires, fleshly thoughts. To use fleshly to mean ‘plump’ or ‘fat’ will generally be considered incorrect.
