armpit

On-Yomi: キョウ — Kun-Yomi: わき、わけ

Koohii stories:

1) [AndamanIslander] 1-5-2008(244): What part of the body has a very, very, very powerful smell? The armpit, of course!

2) [dshill99] 1-7-2008(71): Armpit is the flesh near your triceps.

3) [takoman] 11-3-2008(51): (no important on yomi) The part of Conan's body that is three times more effective at defeating foes than his muscles are his stinky ARMPITs. [Note: Typically, when the flesh primitive is on the left side it refers to a body part - this helps distinguish in from threaten (#871 脅)].

4) [manos] 14-9-2007(33): The piece of flesh between the triceps and the deltoid muscle (note how the 3 strengths form a neat delta) is the armpit.

5) [fuaburisu] 9-2-2006(19): The part of the body on your flank, where the triceps is attached, is the armpit. Note: the kanji is often used in the sense of “flank” or “side”. The armpit is a part of the body on your sides/flanks.
