Every week I try to figure out why vandubovik chose these specific words, like what could have happened.

I assume this week he was digging a furrow with a staff to plant some saplings or young plants, but hit himself or fell and injured his knee and ankle because his boots were too stiff. Have a good recovery OP!

I wonder why an ankle is just called a little bone...

Don't you wonder why it's called ШЧЫКАЛАТКА?
