long legs
Model's runway assets
Long legs describes limbs that extend notably far from hip to foot, whether on humans, animals, or furniture.
The phrase often carries admiring connotations when applied to people, suggesting attractiveness or elegance.
In casual use, someone might be called long legs as a familiar address or nickname.
Certain spiders, particularly daddy longlegs, earn their common name from this feature, though they technically have eight legs rather than the usual understanding of a pair.
