the seamless blend of calf into ankle. accomplished by inflammation, obesity, athleticism or a combinaiton of the three. the affected leg takes on the shape of a summer sausage with a human foot at the end. there is no defintion of the calf because it is obscured most often by fat which spills down over the ankle, hiding it, and causing a cankle to form.
im glad maggie doesn't have cankles anymore, although now im the only one left in the cankle support group

A grossly malformed, disproportionate, and tree stump-like ankle that seamlessly merges into the calf, so that there is no singular "ankle" or "calf".

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.

When the calves and ankles of a person's feet merge into a straight line with no distinction of which is which.
Fat people usually have cankles, but it can also occur with anyone.
(This is not to be confused with someone having thick ankles. If someone has thick ankles they still have a curve in their leg, but with cankles, the front view of their foot is completely straight.)
