It always makes me smile when people say "I know it like the back of my hand...." - I doubt most people could exactly describe it though. Anyhoooo, how well do you know your body? I want you to list as many parts of your body that are only 3 letters long. I am not talking about technical names but just common a garden / layman names for body parts. I heard the question recently on my local radio station and it proved harder than I thought it would be. I don't know how many there are in total but I have come up with 12 so far. I will start you of with an example and then what are the other 11, but maybe you can think of one I haven't So enough of waffling on... on your marks...go 1) eye
- Hår - Øre - Øye - Lår - Kne - Tær - Hæl I can't think of more, sorry. Edit: Three more. - Arm - Bak - Fot
Ok starting with the one you named: 1. eye 2. arm 3. leg 4. lip 5. toe 6. ear 7. gum 8. jaw 9. hip 10. rib I can't think of any more that aren't a bit rude. I can think of two more though!!
I'm finding it interesting that five of the words have the same meaning in both languages, even though they're spelled differently.
