Cankles!! Another word I never heard before.

What’s a cankle?
No, there are too many who worry about ancestors. “Your ancestors did this in 1411” or whatever. Read Ezekiel 18 for what God thinks of that nonsense.

I get plenty of fiction already – don’t need any from Ezekiel…

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.

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

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.

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.
