Their role in propping up the body has produced the meaning of support in other objects like the leg of a chair. We also talk about giving someone a leg up when they need support and a boost. The idea of a leg as a structural support is reiterated in the phrases not have a leg to stand on and on one's last legs. A leg can equally refer to a stage of a journey or race, historically denoting sea journeys, but now with a wider application. Another common meaning of leg is that of movement in shake a leg (get moving), stretch your legs (go for a walk), and leg it (run away). The expression pull someone's leg, meaning to tease them, may originate from a Scottish rhyme where a preacher tugged on the leg of a hung criminal to make sure they were dead. Nowadays, pulling someone's leg has a more lighthearted meaning, involving teasing and joking.
