Once upon a time, I had ankles. And they were actually kind of boney ankles. And then I started taking on water like the Titanic and suddenly, like magic... Cankles.
Here are a couple of definitions:
Urban Dictionary: Noun. A sight common among the morbidly obese. The point at which one is so obese that there is no thinning of the leg between the calf and the ankle, which creates a sense of fusion between the two.
Wikipedia: An obese or otherwise swollen ankle that blends into the calf without clear demarcation.
Apparently someone forgot to mention pregnancy in these definitions. Because I have cankles that make my husband laugh. And then feel badly. And then massage my feet and ankles to try and help me out a little bit.
If anyone could help me out with the term for really swollen toes and feet, that would be really great. There must be one out there somewhere. I just don't have time to get around to this research because I have an appointment in a bit. So if you do happen to have some extra time, I'm looking for a definition for feet that look like the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters. You know what I'm talking about!
And have a nice day! :-)
