stupefy (Isn't the ankle deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Wasn't even the meaning of Jacob's name "he who clutches the ankle", given as he came out as the second twin, and was clutching his brother's ankle (actually heel, but babies don't have the best coordination), and he later grew up to cheat his brother out of his inheritance? This just goes to show what can happen if men aren't appropriately shielded from ankles!!! Why, it's almost as bad as the Whangdoodle saga!

Most people seem to like fitting into existing stereotypes... Not me, though! )

insensible (Your post gave me quite the giggle. Thank you for brightening my day and enlightening me about the trouble with ankles! I just don't know what else is worthy to add to that!
You are extraordinary. I admire that you don't like fitting in with existing stereotypes!)

 

[Moses_Young]

insensitive (I am pleased you are not insensitive to the grave dangers posed to men by ankles, and am glad to have brightened your day. )

 

[CarriePie]

unsympathetic (LoL, thinking about...ankles can be an interesting aesthetic appeal. I rather like my ankles. Maybe I should be worried about myself.
Yes, thank you! You are the master of cleverness.)

 

[Moses_Young]

pitiless (Lol. I never really thought about ankles having an aesthetic appeal, but it does make sense. However, what is important is not the outward appearance of the feet, but the inward ankles of the heart!

Not really clever... Just pitiless for those who are worried about ankles? )

 

[CarriePie]

ruthless (The foot and ankle can be an important aesthetic feature. Look at how many people in the world have a foot fetish! There are people out there who actually get money for showing their feet. Hmm, maybe I should look into that.... Just kidding.)

 

[Moses_Young]

Boaz (Boaz was Ruthless until Naomi returned from Moab, and he found his Ruth sleeping at his feet. You are right! Even in the bible, ankles - or perhaps feet - seem to have some sort of attraction.

Not all feet are created equal, however. I think I could probably earn money by people paying me not to show them my feet.....

Ruth 3:8-9
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
)

genealogy (of Christ)
(You make a good point! I had forgot about Ruth and Boaz when I was thinking about feet! That's smashing and quick of you!
I am confident enough in my feet, that I feel like I could do the showing of my feet to people with a foot fetish. However, I don't think they are worthy of seeing such impeccable feet! )

 

[Moses_Young]

bloodline

(Thank you for thinking I am smashing. I have missed that word. I definitely agree that those with foot fetishes are unworthy of seeing impeccable feet!

But rather Isaiah 52:7:
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
)

royal (Or even better than royal, the bloodline of a chieftess! Chieftesses must to have impeccable feet.

I think if anyone is smashing, you certainly are.

See, the feet are very important Biblically. Very interesting how important feet are. I'm reminded of the washing of the feet as well.)

 

[Moses_Young]

chieftess (I didn't realise chieftesses had to have impeccable feet, but now that you mention it, I believe it is so. The only Chieftess I know has impeccable feet, so it seems the theory matches the practice.

You are right. I just did a search for "feet" in the bible, and seemed to get thousands of hits! The washing of feet certainly - Jesus washing his disciples, and the woman washing his feet.)

 

[CarriePie]

master (Indeed. And most importantly, God created us with feet. Daily I try to think about all the things I'm thankful for...once you get started, even on the worst days, you can't help but to think of countless things. I'm certainly thankful for feet. Whether they are impeccable or not, they certainly help give us mobility. But, I'm also thankful I can have impeccable feet if I so desire. Which I do, I think it's very chieftess-like.)

 

[Moses_Young]

head (Definitely. It is something I too often take for granted - ease of mobility by use of feet. And having impeccable feet is Chieftess-like indeed. )

 

[CarriePie]

chief (I do a lot of walking. I think it's beneficial for the mind as well. I think they've done studies about that. It feels therapeutic to me. Unless I'm in a sketchy area, then I'm constantly being aware of my surroundings. Some people have no respect for chieftesses!)
