kissing knees
n.pl.— «Safrit had another term for the condition. He called it “kissing knees.” “Their bones just can’t handle that much weight so early in life,” Safrit said. “It looks like they are on skis, on skates. Their knees bow inwards.” “Kissing knees” is one of many obesity-related complications.» —“In football, bigger is not always better” by Patrick Obley The State (Columbia, South Carolina) Feb. 4, 2007.
