    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 :p

    So enough of waffling on... on your marks...go
    1) eye

    I'm finding it interesting that five of the words have the same meaning in both languages, even though they're spelled differently.
