Cankles

These heels look like they are about to break off...

So I was walking to the train after work the other day, and some giant assed lady in a hurry was stampeding her way through the crowd. She must have been on a mission, because she was huffing and puffing... so I'm assuming she was either late for her train or really really hungry. As I ducked to the side to avoid being hit by the truck, I couldn't help but notice one thing. Her cankles.

For those of you that don't know, cankles is a term referring to a fat pair of legs that have no defined end of the calf area as well as no defined beginning of the ankle to ultimately blend the two together... hence the term cankles... calf + ankles.

Really though, how funny are cankles? I challenge you to not laugh when you see a person with no definitive shape to their legs, someone who's calves go directly into their foot. Hilarious. Not to mention, the word alone is funny. I love combining two words to make one... for example fugly (fat + ugly), scrack (the area between your crack and scrotum, also called your taint or gooch), slore (slut + whore), Crasian (a crazy Asian), and many more. Hilariousness always ensues...

A chick can be completely gorgeous and have one downfall of cankles and she is ruined. She instantly turns herself into the "undatable" category for most guys, next to the freakishly tall and well, the middle eastern. I mean seriously, who's gonna wanna look at those all day? Not to mention guys don't want to worry whether or not their girlfriend can do more calf raises than them...

Some naive women want to believe that they have "strong" ankles... but sorry babe... those are cankles. Stop kidding yourselves and do some calf raises next time you're at the gym.... or don't and continue to provide amusement for everybody else. Just remember... they are laughing WITH you, not AT you.
