		<description>Well, the only time I&#039;ve heard the word &quot;akimbo&quot; is in reference to

 deep leg squatting. It&#039;s something you&#039;ll see children doing while 

playing in dirt. Adults tend  to lose being that limber, most 

Americans anyway (just kidding). Seriously, you&#039;ll see people in 

other countries where chairs are not a part of the decorum in deep 

squat where the back of the thigh &amp; the whole lower e leg totally 

touch while feet are planted flat on the ground. Looks 

uncomfortable, especially when you can&#039;t do it yourself.</description>

		<description>It sounds like arms akimbo meant on the hips. Pistols akimbo would make sense if they were holstered at the hip. As for legs akimbo, think of the knees as elbows and forget about the hips for a second. When you spread your knees wide like a bow legged cowboy, your legs make the same shape as when your elbows are out and your hands are on your hips. Doesn&#039;t seem like much of a stretch to me. Languages evolve like that, I think it&#039;s kinda cool.

I feel super lame posting on an old thread, but no one brought this up in a timely fashion. Maybe someone will stumble across this :-)</description>

		<description>Think it got its rise from &quot;The League of Gentlemen&quot; where Legs Akimbo is  a dreadful community theatre group that has been called in to entertain people during a plague. It&#039;s supposed to be zany and non-sensical.</description>
