What does Moose Knuckle mean?
Moose Knuckle is the slang expression for the male camel toe; when pants are too tight and pulled up too high, revealing the shape and outline of the genitalia for all to see.
Apart from looking ridiculous, a “moose knuckle” is highly uncomfortable, as the fabric of the trousers is separating the testicles from each other, cutting in between the two nuts.
Alternatively, a camel toe that is extremely visible and prevalent, may be referred to as a “moose knuckle”.
