Striking a blow for thick-jointed women everywhere, the Guardian's Hadley Freeman makes a stirring declaration: There's no such thing as "cankles." Preach it, sister!

I thought it was a very funny joke when comments were closed on this post.
She's a Seppo not a Briton. (But does such a good Glenda Slagg you're forgiven).
Cankles totally exist. (And I'm really not sure that wearing heels would ameliorate that, so much.)
Y'all know what really doesn't exist? Hiccups.
Hiccups don't exist. FACT.
That tip about using fashion magazines as legwarmers is very helpful. I may also consider stuffing the pages in my winter jacket to improve its insulation this winter.
Maybe. But my knucklemuffintops depress the hell out of me.
Cankles exist, they're just not the end of the world or anything.
'Cankle' sounds misogynist and body-fascist. It's fluid buildup in the extremities (edema): exercise, reduce sodium, and go beat the living crap out of the person using that word.
OMG, AND FAT PEOPLE SHOULD JUST EXERCISE AND EAT LESS, RIGHT?
You know what would solve non-existent cankles? Skank boots! They won't be looking at your cankles anymore.
Skank boots that look like a python three days after eating a shih tzu.
But they won't be talking about your cankles anymore.
That's what I said!

If we were able to shame pudgy, white guys into wearing pants at all times we should be able to shame cankled ladies into doing the same.
"pudgy" is so kind
I guess I am body-image fetish slang-challenged, but is "cankles" a portmanteau word meaning Can-Shaped Ankles? And if so, fine, but then for Brits wouldn't it need to be "tinkles" or something?
Its actually "calf-ankles" as there is no distinction between the two parts
Thank you!
Try micro-lipo. Just make sure they don't suck out your achilles tendon when going for that gross ankle fat.
I think skateboarding is good for cankles.
Have you ever seen a skateboarder with cankles?
