A justification this robust is exactly when as an editor I'll let the author's insights override any standard term (or suggest an explanatory footnote).

He just has a Thing for men's chins, okay?

It's totally normal. He just wants to be able to ogle those chinlines, maybe measure some things using the calipers he happened to have in his chest pocket, that kind of totally normal interest in other people's bodies.
