A leg is a weight bearing and locomotive structure, usually having a columnar shape. During locomotion, legs function as "extensible struts" - the combination of movements at all joints can be modeled as a single, linear element capable of changing length and rotating about an omnidirectional "hip" joint.
As an anatomical animal structure it is used for locomotion. The distal end is often modified to distribute force (such as a foot). Most animals have an even number of legs.
As a component of furniture it is used for the economy of materials needed to provide the support for the useful surface, the table top or chair seat.
Many taxa are characterized by the number of legs:
In tetrapod anatomy, leg is used to refer to the entire limb. In human medicine its precise definition refers only to the segment between the knee and the ankle. This segment is also called the shank, and the front (anterior) of the segment is called the shin or pretibia.
In bipedal tetrapods, the two lower limbs are referred to as the "legs" and the two upper limbs as "arms" or "wings" as the case may be.

Tuesdays and Fridays I'd wait at the bus stop
and guess who won't show up
I'm tired of waiting for you
Reflections in puddles and rain on their faces
how awkward this place is
when all seems connected to you
You warned me from the first time on
but I chose to ignore the things you said
Of course it didn't take you long
to figure out a way to pull my leg
Well, here I stand
I don't feel too good
Slightly canned
I wish you would
Untie the knot
untie the knot, then the have
have not
untie the knot
You won't have me worried
I can still take care of myself somehow
You won't have me worried
just have to rethink my thoughts somehow
Well, here I stand
I don't feel to good
Slightly canned
I wish you would
