WOTD - Hallux

So…I just googled it…the big toe is the hallux/thumb toe, next to it is the index/pointer toe, then the third toe, fourth toe and fifth/pinky/little toe. Why don’t they all get kewl names like “hallux”? Shall we come up with our own? Who decided this stuff.

If we're going by the UK pronunciation of Harry I guess we'd need another list. Gary, Murray, Barry? I can't think of others. Ballux would be a good one.

I was confused how those rhymed for a moment and then I remembered to say them in American. I am liking Jellux and Mallux in particular. Nice work. 🎊🎉🛼✅

Taking Hal as a diminutive of Harry, what other names rhyme with Harry? Gary, Jerry, Terry, Mary... We could have Gallux, Jellux, Tellux, Mallux.

Toeranosaurus Rex is my suggestion. It is 4am though, so might not be my best idea. I’m open to other suggestions.

The pinky toe, for sure, deserves a special name.
