Kankles.
Edited on Fri Mar-23-07 01:01 PM by LaraMN
My friend claims she looks horrible in shorts and skirts, because she has what she refers to as "kankles," or, thick ankles. I've never heard the term. Now every time I look at her ankles, I giggle.

Are thick wrists, then, "krists"? It just doesn't have the same ring to it.

3. Or "thick" and "ankles".
We need a medical expert, here.

2. Cankles?
weird

thick ankles are the sign of a sturdy physical disposition.

They are supposed to indicate sturdy stock, one would think that they would be more common?

5. thats hilarious, my sister and i were talking about cankles the other day.
she's making me a new ankle bracelet to replace the one i broke and she calls me up to ask for my ankle size, so i measure it twice and tell her "8 inches" she says "How can that be possible, are you sure" "Yes i'm sure, right one is 8 and the left one is 8 1/4" so she says "Jesus Creeist i must have cankles, mine are 10 1/2".

10. Urban dictionary definition

"Calves that become feet without taking an ankle break.

Look, Mary! Al is making a special anklet for your kankles! It's a kanklet!"

Merging of calf and ankle?

12. I have cankles.
Edited on Fri Mar-23-07 01:33 PM by Blue in Portland
My daughters have them, too. Throughout their childhood on the rare occasions when I was a less-than-perfect parent, I fully expected my offspring to be in therapy as adults and blaming me for my transgressions. As it turns out, the cankles are the only thing I've done to them that they cannot forgive.

:rofl: :shrug: :rofl:

edit for stupid grammar.
