Talk:Ankle

Supposedly, many 19th-century men had an ankle fetish -- the only part of body below the neckline which commonly came into view with the long dresses of the period... AnonMoos 01:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

There was even a special word for "beautiful" as applied to ankles -- "well-turned"... AnonMoos 13:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

How about putting a version of this text as an example of Agastopia? --Interesdom 06:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm still not sure if Agastopia is a real word if there's no plausible Greek or Latin etymology for it. However, for an amusing example ca. 1910, see image http://www.barnaclepress.com/cmcvlt/OutburstsOfEverettTrue/oet018.jpg linked from page http://www.barnaclepress.com/comics/archives/comedy/outbursts_of_everett_true/index.html -- AnonMoos 07:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
