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.

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.

When there is no clear distinction as to where the ankle and calf are separated. It's most common in people that are heavy or big-boned. (meaning they usually shake the house when they walk, or waddle)
Where are Wanda's calf and ankle? Since I can't see them, she must have cankles!

Its when your so fat that you cant tell where the calf ends and the ankle begins. One of Bill Clintons number 1 sayings.
Skinny Guy: What the hell is up with your leg.
Fat Chick: I dont know.
Bill Clinton: Thats a cankle.
