Hands
Does it sound natural to say both "rugged hands" and "rough hands" if I have calluses from manual labor and lifting weight? Can "rugged" be used for other body parts apart from looks?

Question

Answer

I wonder if it depends on where you're from.  In Britain I've never heard the phrase "rugged hands".  People would say "rough", "dry" etc. but "rugged" is almost only ever used to describe faces.

Answer

Yes both terms sound natural. You can say rugged hands, especially if its from manual labor and lifting weight.
