bandy legs Explanation: Both expressions (X Beine and O Beine) refer to leg bones that are not straight. O describes the shape of the legs, formed like the letter O, where the knees don't meet, and X (knock knees) describes the shape like the letter X, where the knees come together but the legs above and below the knees continue at an angle. |
