You know he's a very short, fat little man with bow legs.

Anne of The Island by Montgomery, Lucy Maud View in context

The swelling biceps, the coat straining at its buttons over the chest, the air of conscious conviction of the supereminence of the male in the cosmogony of creation, even a calm display of bow legs as subduing and enchanting agents in the gentle tourneys of Cupid--these were the approved arms and ammunition of the Clover Leaf gallants.

The Four Million by Henry, O. View in context

There was an open square for the market-place; and in the centre of it, a large inn with a sign-post in front, displaying an object very common in art, but rarely met with in nature--to wit, a blue lion, with three bow legs in the air, balancing himself on the extreme point of the centre claw of his fourth foot.

The Posthumous Papers Of The Pickwick Club by Dickens, Charles View in context
