"Cankles? What are cankles?"

We've heard about saddle bags, muffin tops and love handles, but it seems that some women and men of the 21st century are now focused on the chubby joints of their lower extremities...Far from being a medical term, "cankles" is slang for the part of the leg where the ankle meets the calf when there is no definition or indentation. In most cases, cankles are just large ankles -- what used to be called "big bones." But in society's quest for all things thin and shapely, big-boned ankles have taken on a name -- and a life -- of their own.


Is CNN really reporting on cankles??? Really?

Slow news week?
And do they think we don't know what cankles are? Geez.
Maybe the CNN people are going to buzz up cankles, get everyone worried & self-conscious about them, and then we'll find out that they're behind the new 'cankle-reducing cream' that comes out next year. ;)
