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.

An amazing guy that can be a jerk but is extremly funny and sweet. He smells amazing and is average height. He may not be your first choice in a guy, but after you date him you'll want him forever. He listens to everything you say and he's protective if someone hurts you. you can trust him with anything and know he won't tell anyone because it's just who he is. He's a great football player and swimmer. He won't leave you for someone else, but you have to watch because that's his problem, if he finds someone else he may date them and you too. But that isn't common, he's a great guy and one of the best boyfriends a girl could have. He's cute too and the best kisser on the planet. And a girls dream guy after you get to know him.
