Spindle-legged for Dummies

Okay, buddy, let's talk about what "spindle-legged" means. Picture a table or chair that has really long, thin legs. You know those spider-like legs that make it look a bit wobbly? Well, that's kinda what "spindle-legged" means - having legs that are really long and thin, like the spindle on an old-fashioned sewing machine!

Now, imagine you're looking at a spider crawling across the floor. Its legs are thin and bendy, right? Well, those legs could be described as "spindle-legged." It's like saying the spider has long, spindly legs that can easily bend or seem a little wobbly.

When we talk about someone being "spindle-legged," we're saying that their legs are long and thin, just like those spindles we talked about earlier. It's as if their legs resemble spindles - those straight, skinny rods you might see on furniture or even in a sewing machine. You could say it's a way to describe someone whose legs are thin and narrow, making them look a bit like those spindles we mentioned!

Think about this - have you ever seen a tall, skinny person who seems to have really thin legs compared to the rest of their body? Their legs might be called "spindle-legged" because they're long and slender, like those spindles we've been talking about.

So, to sum it up, "spindle-legged" means having legs that are long, thin, and maybe even a bit wobbly, just like the spindles you might find on furniture or in old sewing machines. It's a way to describe someone's legs as being slender and resembling those spindles. Now tell me, did that help to clear things up for you?
