lightin’ the legs

Reference to the mostly backwoods or Depression Era practice of running a lit match up and down one’s legs to shave in lieu of a difficult to obtain razor.
I used to watch my Grandma lightin’ the legs; it took mere seconds and seemed so easy once I got past the shock of seeing it that first time!
