another example is from Korea: 'mu-dari' -- 'radish legs'
Generally directed at women (though not always), and never complimentary.
It bears mentioning that mu are not the tiny red radishes that commonly are grown in the US, but one of the (for lack of a better term from a USn perspective) Asian radishes, often sold as 'daikon' (which is Japanese).
[note the ill-conceived and ill-obscured attempt at redirecting this thread to subjects less offal]

sorry to disappoint you Helen, but I'll stay with the food theme, now you Girls have started it [duck emoticon], and only slightly down hill, with Cheesecake and Beefcake which give an indication of body shape.
And away from pear shaped and food we have wasp waisted.

i was read a description of someone (they were describing them selves) as being shaped like a barrel on piano legs-- the auther has slipped away-- but the vivid description lives on in my memory--
it was in an autobiography -- a man who went blind in his early teens-- and went on to a successful career as college professor-- and writer.. i read it my teens-- (circa mid 60's) any one remember it? He went to school in NYC (a school for the blind in the bronx) it was interesting because I knew the man by sight--he often took the local subway-- and i had often seen him. then suddenly-- here he was a famous author!
