Cankles!! Another word I never heard before.

cankles: ankles that are as thick as your calves.

@ Nabuquduriuzhur….(Where’d you get that name..lose a bet?) As far as reading Ezekiel 18……don’t you realize you’re reading something filtered, censored and translated that someone selected to print about what someone else said someone else said? Watch out for the sheep crossing…

@ Nabuquduriuzhur It’s interesting that the God of Ezekiel 18 is the same God in 1 Samuel 15, isn’t it? He seems pretty hung up on ancestors in 1 Sam 15.

I’m with you, ladyfingers

Like God’s actually going to be there for him if he’s catholic. Mule fritters!

like this one. They don’t know that God is everywhere and always. Too bad for them

ditto

I would not be in that situation anyway. Surprise what terms Opal uses. Anyone look it up if such a term. Cankles do with ankles.

cankle (ˈkæŋkəl) — n informal a thickened area between the calf and ankle in an overweight person, obscuring where one ends and the other begins Dictionary.com

So, basically she is blaming her ancestors for her fat legs.

Not entirely, Thirdguy. Cankles are basically large ankle bones, so that there’s no definition in the ankle area to differentiate it from the calf area. So someone could be a normal, healthy weight and still have cankles.

Darkeforce, those like Kreole delight pulling others down to their own level so they might feel comfortable in themselves. Sad.

Some day your going to say oops…but it will be to late, you will get your just reward for that comment

If you don’t know what cankles are, you don’t get this strip. Lucky you.

And to think, I WAS going to pass by the comments here today! Silly me!

Sending this one to all my female relatives. We have long cussed our sturdy peasant-type ancestors for our cankles. No pretty shoes for us. :(

Damn had to google the joke…………just never has fun. As John Carson said ‘if you have to explain the joke’

Nabu cites a book about a long time ago to say people waste time worrying about a long time ago. Then Fishstix suggests we know nothing because we don’t tell the same dull stories over and over again, the God is boring and has tunnel vision religion.

My dictionary ( y’know that big book we used to have at school) doesn’t list cankle.

Bravo!!!!!

Perhaps the people that make the snippy comments when people bring up the bible are annoyed when said people assume the rest of the people are of the same religion. I was raised catholic but I’m not, I just don’t like people using the bible to justify their actions and to prove they are right about something.

@kreole I love the sheep reference lol
