Contrary to popular belief, you don't really have to be fat to have cankles (though they are cute on chubbish girls), you just have to have boringly straight legs with no middleman, that is, no tapering between the calf and the heel. Looks less severe on skinny folk.
Alternate spelling: Kankle
Fat hasn't caused my cankle problem, I just have straight and boring legs.

When the calves and ankles of a person's feet merge into a straight line with no distinction of which is which.
Fat people usually have cankles, but it can also occur with anyone.
(This is not to be confused with someone having thick ankles. If someone has thick ankles they still have a curve in their leg, but with cankles, the front view of their foot is completely straight.)
Look at that fat lady and her cankles!

My boyfriend says I have cankles.

Lack of narrowing of the lower calf where it meets the foot.

Get the cankles mug.
When the calf of a woman/man seems to fuse to the foot, not leaving any slimness between these two points. Mostly tubbos (really morbidly obese people) have these goin on.
1)That really, enormously chunky lady over there had some insane cankles.

2)If anybody finds cankles attractive, something is seriously wrong with you.

The area that should be an ankle, but instead skips right to the foot.
