cankles

A tingly, goosebumpy, sensation felt in the region between the ankle and the calf. Cankles are typically brought on by a frightening, startling, or disgusting experience. The cankles sensation rarely lasts longer than a few seconds.

Watching old people eat with their mouths open gives me cankles.

WoW Cankles

Cankles, but where the specific cause of their development is due to weight gain from playing World of Warcraft upwards of 14 hours per day.

Look at that 300 pound guy wearing the Yoda shirt. He has some serious WoW cankles.

Cankle Neck

A neck that lacks visual definition of the clavicle and jugular notch separating the neck from the shoulders

I'm not interested in him because his cankle neck is a complete turn off, I like my men to have more defined necklines.

cankle(s)

A swelling of the ankle and lower calf so as to obliterate the normal tapered boundary between the two. While it may be simply be deposition of adipose tissue (fat), or even excessive standing, in some cases the cankle may represent a symptom of kidney disease or even congestive heart failure, in that the swelling could be caused by excessive fluid retention in the lower leg which the failing heart is unable to pump uphill or the kidneys are unable to excrete into the urine.

While the term is ordinarily used in a sexist manner to insult a woman's beauty, cankles may represent more than a mere cosmetic problem, but actually a dangerous situation calling for evfaluation by a physician.

The middle-aged woman was so ashamed of her cankle(s) that she had long worn long dresses to obscure them but, later, only after she had been hospitalized with severe kidney and heart disease, did her family realize that the cankle(s) were an early sign of her illness.
