This is a pretty serious question, but I'll pose it, anyway:

[LaraMN]

If our underarms are called "armpits," why can't we call the part of our leg behind the knee our "legpits"?

:shrug:

[billyskank]

1. Maybe we should

:hi:

What do we call it, anyway?

[LaraMN]

3. There IS no name for it, as afar as I know!

Hence my disgruntlement...


:mad:

[billyskank]

7. Well that's just not good enough

How can it not have a name? Legpit it is, then.

[LaraMN]

10. YESSS!

[NC_Nurse]

24. Knee crotch

like elbow crotch....

[MrCoffee]

2. i call them "kneepits", as in...

why are my kneepits so sweaty?



well, why are they so sweaty?

[LaraMN]

6. Because you don't use deoderant there.

Maybe you should!
:bounce:

[NNadir]

4. Speak for your own leg pits.

My leg pits are called leg pits.

Actually if you think about the correspondence - the part where the appendage joins the torso - you are left with a different problem. One wonders why "arm pits" aren't called "privates."

[LaraMN]

9. I'm going to start calling my armpits my "privates" AND

I'm going to refer to my "legpits." Just to mix things up and be contrary.

5. Would the part under your jaw be your facepit?

[billyskank]

8. No, that's my chin

[Orsino]

11. We must protect the traditional view of knees...

...from assaults by you and your kind.

[LaraMN]

12. You call yourself a Progressive?!1!!11

I bet you've never even HAD knees!

[MrCoffee]

13. there you go, casting asparagus on others...

go to Europe for that, hippie.

[trof]

16. There's a forum for asparagus now. Brand new.

Oh crap.
Am I about to get my ass kicked for that?
:scared:

[trof]

14. I get your drift, I think. 'Shoulderpits'?

'Cause they're REALLY under your shoulders, not your arms.
Damn, we've named the body parts wrong.
krep
:-(
Do-over?

[yvr girl]

15. Shouldn't a legpit be closer to the point where the legs are

attached to the body? You know, 'down there.'

[itsmesgd]

17. why do they call it a driveway if you park in it,

and a parkway when you drive on it?

[MrCoffee]

18. is that webbing between your thumb and hand your handpit?

[graywarrior]

19. I have a tragic story about pits.

Years ago, I and a bunch of hippies went to Sebago Lake in Maine to a campground. Everyone there had their names on some board at the entrance of their camps, like The Brown, Chuck, Buffie, and Lucy, Larry and Miffie, etc.

So we made on the said The Pitts: Arm, Leg, Peach, Cherry, & Avocado. We were asked to leave the next day. Of course, we were smoking pot and stumming guitars all night. But I think it was the Legpit that pissed them off.

[SKKY]

20. I thought Ally McBeal pretty much solved that mystery?!?!

Remember the episode with Richard and his "Knee-pit trick?"

[LaraMN]

21. I never could stomach watching Ally MCBeal, because I felt that

her nostrils made her look like a dragon.

[SKKY]

23. Well, like Third Eye Blind and Cold Play, Ally McBeal was one...

...of my guilty pleasures I wasn't proud to admit in Public. In this particular episode, Richard (One of the other
lawyers) learned this trick that he could to to a woman's "knee pit" that would have her "Arriving" in a matter
of seconds. There was an entire episode built around that little trick.

[otherlander]

22. What about the area opposite your elbow?

Is that an armpitius oppositius?

[ZombieNixon]

25. Wouldn't it be your "kneebow?"

Since they correspond to your elbows. Though I suppose then elbows should be called "armbows." And your naughty bits would be your legpit. :shrug:
