gams
Shapely stems, informally
Gams is dated slang for legs, especially a woman's legs when considered shapely or attractive: She's got great gams.
The word peaked in mid-20th-century American English and now sounds deliberately retro or playful, evoking old Hollywood glamour or hard-boiled detective fiction.
