I was having this debate with friends the other day and it got me slightly worried.

If, on your foot, your big toe isn't actually your big toe (and your toe next to it is actually bigger) then what does your big toe become?

As the only other distinguishing feature of your big toe is that it is fatter than the rest, should we actually re-name our big toes 'fat toes' if we have a different big toe?

Or am i just talking a load of old codswallop and losing my marbles? :w00t:

(P.S I do have a Fat Toe!)

Maybe, maybe not. I have noticed that if I hold my toes as straight as possible the second one is a teensy bit longer - so have resolved to keep them scrunched up as I thought that only happened to freaky people :ninja:

I will therefore still be claiming to have a big toe no matter what the outcome of this debate :D

I am happy to announce that my big toes are definately the widest and longest of my toes. I am so relieved that I am not going to have the naming problems Mars has. :D

Mine are (err were) all placed in order of size :)


You could, if your big toe isnt your biggest toe, have a tall toe, and a big toe.

Just a thought

The toes next to my big toes are the same lenth but my big toes are the fat toes of the feet!





I don't beleive I have just reponded to a thread about toes! :bag:

My Big Toe is the largest and widest too!


I think if your big toe is still wider than the rest even if the one next to it is longer, it is still your big toe, the other one can be the 'longest toe' then there would be no confusion.


Mind you if you like confusing others then that is another ball game all together! :devil:

Big? Fat? Long?

It doesn't really matter.
It all depends on what you do with them:ninja:

I can help you with this one Mars :)

It's very simple, all toes have a name! The first toe (usually the 'big' toe) is the piggy that went to market, so he's ''Piggy Market'' the next one, he who stayed home is obviously "Piggy Home'' number three is "Piggy Roast Beef'' who is followed by ''Piggy None", bringing up the rear is of course "Piggy Wee-Wee" :)

Simple. Problem solved :thumbsup:

I thought everyone knew this!!

I can expand on this. Piggy Market is usually the dominant piggy, in your case we I beleive we are finding a case of submissive Piggy Market to a more dominant than usual Piggy Home. Piggy Home is clearly the dominant piggy here. Though unusual,the balance is still there and the Piggy Pack can function as normal. Problems arise when Piggy Roast Beef, None or Wee'wee become the most dominant - the balance of the group would be very unstable.

It may also vary from foot to foot i.e my left foot is Piggy Home led where as my right foot is Piggy Market.

Indeed, as my esteemed colleague Cat has pointed out some people are indeed 'Piggy Home' led, which as she also states, is not necessarily a problem. It has however been reported that in some 'fashionable' sets of society, females have been led into having 'Piggy Wee-Wee' removed so as to be able to wear certain 'desirable' items of footwear. Now, in a 'Piggy Market' dominant foot this is just about acceptable (though totally unnecessary) and leads to no real imbalance, however in a 'Market' 'Beef' or 'None' dominant situation this is highly inadvisable, and in situations of dual foot variance as described by Cat it may indeed prove catastrophic.

The Market/Home/Roast Beef/None/Wee-Wee catogories were advanced in line with PC regulations and therefore rule out the need for potentially 'sizest' classifications :)

Hope this helps ;)

Hmmm, does this theory not pose an altogether different problem?

If one of your feet is 'Piggy Market' led, and another is 'Piggy Home' led, does this mean that when one steps out of the house to visit either a market or other shops, one goes round in circles?

Surely 'Piggy Market' led foot will be attempting to go to the market, whereas 'Piggy Home' led foot will be trying to go back home?

And what happens when a 'Piggy Wee-wee' is removed? Does this mean one has problems doing the, um, obvious?

I feel that this theory hasn't been throughly thought through!
