The absence of a defined ankle on a person - whereby the calf of the leg merges directly into the foot. The calf appears to replace the ankle - hence the term "cankle".
Whoa, did you see the cankles on the chick? Looks like she has tree stumps for legs!

An ankle of a fat person in which the the ankle and the calf appear seamless.
That girl must have weighed at least 500 pounds! Did you see the cankles on her?

noun; the meeting of the calf and the foot where an ankle is not present due to lack of ankle definition.
That girls ankles are so thick, they aren't ankles at all...indeed, they are cankles!

A grossly malformed, disproportionate, and tree stump-like ankle that seamlessly merges into the calf, so that there is no singular "ankle" or "calf".
Puhhleeeaaze, girl! You got them nasty-ass cankles that not even Corky would wanna jump yer bones!

Ankles on a obese person. The ankles are so big there is nothing between the calf and the foot, so its called a cankle.
A 500 pound woman was walking down the stairs, then she tripped on her cankle and fell. The fall broke her back.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't really have to be fat to have cankles (though they are cute on chubbish girls), you just have to have boringly straight legs with no middleman, that is, no tapering between the calf and the heel. Looks less severe on skinny folk.
Alternate spelling: Kankle
Fat hasn't caused my cankle problem, I just have straight and boring legs.
