The word 'pretty' can be used in a multitude of ways. Not only can it be used as a descriptive term for something you've visually seen, it can also be used to describe a felt (mentally or emotionally) status, so to speak, of something or someone. While words like, for example, pretty, ugly, beautiful and hideous are all used at the opinion and discretion of the user, 'pretty' is often times a more readily used and agreed upon term to describe something or someone that is above average aesthetically. Be it an outfit, hairdo, painting, a persons face or a home, if its appearance is above average (but not considered to be to the level of gorgeous or beautiful) in its attractiveness, it could be considered 'pretty'.
As a feeling, it's generally used to proclaim an above - average opinion on something. It can, however, sometimes be used to describe something as only so-so. As you can tell, "pretty" has many uses. These are only a few definitions.

Get the pretty pretty please with cherries on top mug.Dirty pretty is a form of poetry which utilizes punctuation as a way of emphasizing words. Contrary to what many believe, it is NOT just random punctuation. It is about the calligraphy of words, using visuals to impact on the way the poem/emotions are seen and read. Although the content of dirty pretty poems varies, most pertain to drugs, sex, eating disorders, etc. Dirty pretty is a poetic art, and not everyone can master it. Many over-punctuate, making the poem hard to read and losing the true meaning of the piece.

Get the Pretty Cute mug.Muscle that serves no purpose other than to look good. Most people who have pretty boy muscle are frat boys who spend about 2 hours in the gym "repping out."
Most people confuse these tools for possessing real strength which serves to give the "pretty boy" an ego boost.
Not everyone who is ripped or lean has "pretty boy muscle" as "pretty boy muscle" is an attitude as much as it is a look. You must be a tool to have pretty boy muscle.
Characteristics of "pretty boy muscle:"
1. Lots of cuts
2. The said person usually talks more about the supplements they are on rather than their actual training.
3. Frat Boy.
4. When benching, uses a spotter that assists in the lift usually followed by the spotter saying "Yo I didn't help at all" when he basically deadlifted the bar off said person's chest. This leads to an elevated sense of confidence in the lifter as he will usually say he benches more than he actually does.
5. Usually wearing a shirt with the sides completely cut out. You know what I'm talking about.
6. NEVER works legs. They usually say "I don't want my legs to get too big" or will make any excuse to not do legs.
7. Works out in a bathing suit.
8. Eats salad when going to a fast food restaurant.
9. Gels his hair before the gym.
10. NEVER goes heavy. Everything is in the 10 rep range.

Notable people with "pretty boy muscle:"

DJ Pauly D
Ronnie
Taylor Lautner (Ladies, don't even try to defend him)
Note: Will Smith does not qualify for "pretty boy muscle" as it is reported that he bench pressed 400+ pounds while filming I, Robot. This is strength. This puts him on par with Sylvester Stallone.
