It's one of many pejoratives rejected guys and/or judgmental women use against other women.

In America, it means plain, possibly ugly, and not exciting looking.

In Indian English (in India), it describes someone who is a homebody - you could be a beautiful, homely girl.

Definitely plain and maybe a bit unattractive. I wouldn't cross all of the way over to ugly. Then I'd say "breathtaking."

They can. Unfortunate looking children happen.

My mother always used to use this word to describe. Is it a word like "tacky" that is only defined bt your personal tastes (ex. the "tacky" thread). I have heard moms at the park refer to kids as "homely" looking. What does that mean?
