- 1簡潔有力、短小精悍（指文字、演說）
If writing or speech is punchy, it is short but very clear and effective. It hits you. A punchy headline, a punchy slogan, a punchy opening — few words, strong effect. It is a compliment in news writing, ads, and speeches, and it feels informal to neutral. Be careful: punchy has other lives. It can mean , as if someone has been hit too much (close to punch-drunk). It can also describe a person as short and thick-set. Those are different meanings. This entry is the writing-and-speech one. People also call music or flavours punchy when they have a strong, sharp effect; that is the same “hits you” idea, stretched a little. Punchy does not mean rude or angry. The words can be polite; they are just short and strong.
組成From punch + -y. Punch is the hit or the force; -y makes an adjective, “having that hit.”
