My ankle clicks when I walk...

[Dastard Stepchild]

It's as close as I come to the word clique as of late, but it brings me a happy little smile every time I melodically walk down the street.

Actually... I should probably get that checked out. :)

I've been away from the lounge quite a bit lately what with all the full-time workin' and the schoolin', and I am just trying to catch up with everything now. I swear, emerge from the Lounge for even a week and one cannot predict what one will wander back into.

When did all the clique chat begin? What's this all about?
I'm confused. :(

1. it came to a head tonight

This has been an ungoing issue for months now, but today, everything kinda...went to hell.

[Dastard Stepchild]

3. Oh man....

I've been trying to catch up on all the threads, but it's been crazy! I thought I was going to come here for a chuckle, and I ended up feeling all concerned for my fellow DUers.
I mean, I recall the word clique being thrown around a few months back, but I thought everyone was kidding. I didn't realize people were lobbing that as a real charge.
Huh.... I gots some more reading to do, I guess.

2. My knee clicks when I walk

Maybe we should form a lower extremity click clique? :shrug:

[Dastard Stepchild]

5. Yikes... maybe not....

I mean, since that is apparently of tremendous concern. :)

How does one have an online clique? What constitutes online clique behavior?

11. My knees click a lot too. n/t

4. I think all the clique chat is meant to be sardonic

Probably stemming from some people bitching about other people liking each other.

As for the ankle, I have no clue, but one of my elbows used to do that. And so did my neck come to think of it. So does my jaw on occasion. No worries. I think it will pass.

7. Hmmmm.......

I thought it was a good thing when people found people to connect with. But, uh, perhaps not so much?
My jaw used to click, too. That did go away, so the ankle will probably do the same, but thanks for the reassurance!

6. my stomach makes noises whenever I kiss

[Dastard Stepchild]

8. That's awesome...

is it a low gurgle or a shrilly little scream?

[leftofthedial]

13. kind of a John Prine-ish twangy sound

[Dastard Stepchild]

14. I bet that just makes the moment...

all the more special.

[leftofthedial]

15. A total Dear Abby moment

my shoes squeak

but no air in my ankles

[Dastard Stepchild]

16. Ankle air is hard to come by...

feel not the sense of shaftedness....

[leftofthedial]

17. ankle air

there is something oddly compelling about that concept.

[Dastard Stepchild]

23. I am starting to see my ankle air...

in a whole new appreciative light. DU can bring a gal such happiness.

[leftofthedial]

24. you could be trapped in a mine shaft cave-in or something

and have only your ankle air to breathe while the rescuers dig their way to you

Or maybe shipwrecked in the North Atlantic and use your ankle as a flotation device

[Dastard Stepchild]

25. Well, theoretically....

I could be the recipient of the gift of a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan, and if I were to topple overboard, I may be able to rely on my ankle until a rescue boat could make its way out to save me.
Good thinking there!

9. My hips and ankles click and pop when I walk.

It doesn't hurt that much, but it is quite annoying!

[Dastard Stepchild]

10. Yeah....

someone told me it was trapped ankle air, but I just raised my eyebrow with a hearty skepticism.

[Lady Effingbroke]

12. lol, I'll have to remember that one,

I thought I was just getting old!

[nytemare]

18. My right 3rd toe pops when I walk

If I am wearing slippers or flats I can hear it. I can't in sneakers.

I giggle at it.

[Dastard Stepchild]

19. Our bodies can be a wonderful source of amusement...

It is delightful to meet another person the feels that way :)

[nytemare]

21. Yeah, it doesn't hurt, it just goes pop, pop, pop.

:)

on edit: Funny thing is I was thinking about posting about it this morning when I heard it pop.

[undeterred]

20. I think we have enough here to start a body noise performance group

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Dastard Stepchild]

22. Totally....

We've got a few of us on the ankle, one on the toe, one on the knee...uhhh... one on the belly. It would be fabulous :)
