thigh
Above the knee
The thigh is the upper part of the leg, between the hip and the knee.
It contains the body's largest bone (the femur) and some of its most powerful muscles.
Thighs appear in cooking as cuts of poultry: chicken thighs, turkey thighs.
The word carries mild erotic charge when referring to human anatomy: her bare thighs.
