An Appleby ankle is the term used to describe an injury to an ankle that could have occurred in spectacular circumstances for example falling out of a tree, but actually occurred under really mundane circumstances for example tripping up on a step.
I see you're limping, what have you done?
I've got an Appleby Ankle....yesterday I was climbing dangerous trees but today I tripped over a twig and sprained my ankle.

Well, Henry, I guess I got too fresh for Mabel last night. I wanted to pet, and she took an ankle excursion.

Kids that are left alone all day while their parents lie in their beds. Normaly crawling babies that will attack anyone that passes, for attention. Hanging on to ankles, hoping to escape their lives of deprivation.
