What does THIGH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The part of the leg between the hip and the knee, containing some of the body's largest and strongest muscles.
In humans the thigh is built around a single long bone, the femur, and wrapped in powerful muscles that let a person walk, run, kick and climb. Cooks and butchers also use thigh to name the equivalent joint of meat on an animal, especially poultry, where it sits above the drumstick. Because the thigh carries so much muscle, injuries there can be serious and slow to heal, which is why athletes pay close attention to thigh strength and flexibility. The word is used just as naturally for people as for animals cut up for food.
