Elbow
The joint or bend of the arm; the outer curve in the middle of the arm when bent. Any turn or bend like that of the elbow, in a wall, building, and the like; a sudden turn in a line of coast or course of a river; also, an angular or jointed part of any structure, as the raised arm of a chair or sofa, or a short pipe fitting, turning at an angle or bent. A sharp angle in any surface of wainscoting or other woodwork; the upright sides which flank any paneled work, as the sides of windows, where the jamb makes an elbow with the window back. To push or hit with the elbow, as when one pushes by another. To jut into an angle; to project or to bend after the manner of an elbow. To push rudely along; to elbow one's way. Related Definitions:

Elbow Quotations
No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offence. Thomas Carlyle The moral arc of the universe bends at the elbow of justice. Martin Luther King, Jr. It's going to be the year of the sharp elbow and the quick tongue. George W. Bush But in 2000, the injuries really started to kick in and my elbow gave a lot of problems. At the end of the year I had to take 20 months off before I could come back into the game. Richard Krajicek I have an elbow that bends the wrong way, and I'd do things like stand in an elevator and the doors would close, and I'd pretend that my arm had got caught in it, and then I'd scream, 'Ow, ow, put it back!' Geena Davis |
