It seems to be in fashion - displaying the female, or male, gastrocnemius, the heel tantalizingly arched over the block.
I swear I almost called it just this season . . . and I have been the first on my block to call some obscure stuff, but this one, I thought I'd say something to the coach first, then never got around to it. If, however, it's going to be an epidemic . . .
