'White ankled' seems like a compound adjective. Let's split it into two parts: "white" and "ankled". The second part, "ankled," is a past tense of "ankel," but wait, that's not quite right. The correct comparative form of 'ankle' is '-nd', so maybe 'ankled' here is derived from 'ankle'. So perhaps it's related to something that has or supports ankles. Wait, there's an existing term called 'white-ankled' which I think refers to mermaids or mythical sea creatures like the Selkies. They have human upper bodies and fish tails (ankles), and their legs are white. But maybe that's too specific. Alternatively, could it be something with white ankles, like a person wearing white stockings? Or an animal that has prominent white ankles? But I need to make sure. Let me check if 'white ankled' is a real adjective. Maybe it's more of a poetic or descriptive term. Also, the user wants it defined humorously. So perhaps playing up the unexpectedness of combining white and ankle-related features. For the example sentence, they want it edgy or unsettling. So maybe something dark where the word is used in a creepy context. Like describing a creature or an eerie scene where someone's ankles are white for some reason, creating discomfort. Wait, but if 'white ankled' is referencing mermaids, then an example could be "The creature white-ankled emerged from the fog, its hauntingly beautiful form gliding silently underwater." But that's not exactly edgy. Maybe more unsettling would involve something lurking or ghostly. Alternatively, using it in a way that plays on vulnerability, like someone exposing their ankles making others uncomfortable. But I need to stick with defining 'white ankled' first. Let me think of a funny yet precise definition. Maybe start with "White ankled" describes something that has prominently visible white ankles, often used poetically for mythical beings or in fashion contexts. Then the example sentence could be in a creepy scenario, like a statue of a creature watching over with white ankles, making people uneasy. Alternatively, use hyperbole to make it humorous. For instance, "White ankled entities are those fantastical creatures sporting alabaster ankle adornments that turn heads—or make them itch." Then the example: "The white-ankled figure loomed at the edge of vision, its chilling presence amplified by the icy grip around translucent ankles." Hmm, need to ensure accuracy. Wait, 'ankled' as an adjective would be formed from 'ankle' + -ed. So maybe it's derived from 'ankel', but in English, the comparative of 'ankle' (as a noun) isn't standard because 'ankle' is already a comparative form (the ankle is larger than another). But perhaps this is a playful misuse leading to the adjective. Alternatively, think of things that are 'ankled' as if they have ankles supporting them. So white-skinned with prominent ankles? Maybe like a statue or a creature. The example sentence needs to be unsettling, so maybe something ghostly or sinister where the white ankles add to the horror. Wait, perhaps in medical terms, but that's less likely. Stick with mythical or fictional usage. Let me confirm if 'white-ankled' is a recognized term. Yes, it refers to mermaids or selkies, which have human torsos and fish tails (ankles). So defining it as such, then using it in a sentence about a lurking sea creature watching silently from below with white, veined ankles—creepy. Alternatively, use it metaphorically. Maybe something like "She was the epitome of danger, her every move calculated, much like a statue that's cold and impassive—a true white-ankled sentinel." I think combining both humor and an unsettling example would work. Let me put it all together. Definition: White ankled is a whimsically macabre term used to describe mythical sea-dwelling creatures with alabaster (snowy) ankles! These eerie beings, like the selkie or mermaid, sport fish-tail appendages disguised as human legs, their pale ankles glistening ominously under bioluminescent waves. Think: "Nature's chilling ballet, where graceful white ankles whisper ancient, aquatic secrets." Example Sentence: In the suffocating fog of the derelict pier, a white-ankled specter emerged—its silent glide across the murky water eerily reminiscent of a ghost drifting through midnight. Every deliberate movement—the ethereal caress of its icy-pink fins around its alabadean ankles—sent shivers down spines and stirred primal unease in all who dared witness this spectral ballet. (Emphasis: white-ankled specter .)
