In American culture, 'chiseled' is frequently used to describe attractive facial features and fit physiques, particularly in fashion, entertainment, and fitness contexts. In Brazil, 'definido' and 'sarado' are popular slang terms among the fitness community and in casual speech to describe well-developed muscles. The fraudulent sense ('chiseled') is more prevalent in American English.
