    @davidnjoku Having had relatively extensive reconstructive surgery on my right leg after a car nearly killed me, I can answer this one! The answer is 'no', because medically-speaking your leg is only the bit from the knee down.

    It makes slightly more sense if you think about animal legs and how they're articulated.

        @denny @davidnjoku
        That only accounts for the “knee joint + tibia + fibula”. What about the “femur” thigh bone, isn’t that part of the leg?

          @davidnjoku answered yes.
          Anatomically, your “bum” is 2 sets of major muscles attaching your “pelvis” hip bone to the upper part of your “femur” thigh bone. While it is not part of the skeleton, without it we would _not_ be able to walk/run/climb/etc.

                @dahukanna I think yes it correct answer too. But we're in the minority 😃

                      @davidnjoku legs are from the knees down. Knees up is torso. Bum is definitely not part of your legs.

                      My legs do not fart 😆

                        @WiteWulf Your legs don't fart? Don't know if you've got kids, but if you do, I bet they'd say otherwise! 😃

                            Anatomically it’s more part of the back, if my physio is right.

                              @davidnjoku muscularly, several of the layers of muscles attach to the pelvis from the legs, so parts of your bum are also a part of your legs
