No one’s ever heard of the word cankle before? According to the dictionary it’s a thickened area between the calf and ankle in an overweight person obscuring where one ends and the other begins. Therefore this guy? is not “bigfoot”, he’s “bigcankle”.
Our newspaper must think there are a lot of sensitive people reading it as they replaced this strip with one from 2010. Can’t use the word “poop” I guess.
When my husband and I moved south, we had only been here for 3 months when I got hemmeroids. I didn’t know at the time what the problem was so not knowing any doctors I asked a neighbor for a name. I went to her doctor and when he came in I about died. He was young with kind of curly hair and my very first thought was “oh no, it’ Doogie Howser”. To make matters worse I had laryngitis and all I could do was squawk and squeek. He did what he had to do and said “yup, you have hemmeroids”. So embarrassing. A memory best left unthought of very often.
I still have the official membership card of Turtles, Inc. from1968. Haven’t heard anyone ask the question for years.
