Two Words You Might Not Know

Have you ever repeated to a child, while counting his toes: “This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none; this little piggy cried wee, wee, wee, all the way home?” There are probably different versions of this, I’m sure, but this is the version I’ve always heard. What version do you know? In any case, did you know that the big toes and little toes on your feet actually have names. The big toe is called a “hallux” and the little toe is called the “minimus.” I suppose the other toes have names also, but I haven’t found those names YET. Something FUN to know.
