    Wouldn't Ty Lee get arthritis in the future from all that stretching? My mom is a nurse, and she said that like gymnasts and other people who are always stretching their body really far could get it when they're old..

    Also, why does Toph call Aang 'Twinkle toes'? What does it mean?

    I really don't think a cartoon is the best place to be placing physical diagnosis. But about Toph calling Aang 'twinkle toes' it's becuase when he first faced her in The Blind Bandit he used airbending to make his landing undetectable to her vibration sensing. She called him twinkle toes becuase he was so light on his feet, and continues to call him that.

    Also, in the future please put simple questions like this in the Ask A Question, Get An Answer thread at the top of the page.

    Arthiritis occurs when there is a breakdown of cartilidge in between your bones, this usually happens with runners and stuff like that, they are constantly rubbing the bone agaisnt the cartilidge which then causes arthiritis as the bones to begin rubbing on each other. A gymnist may get it i suppose, but im not 100%.

    Toph calls Aang twinkle toes because of episode 26, when he versed her in the earth rumble match and didn't want her to hear him so he used airbending to make his feet get less contact with the ground, so she called him twinkle toes. Hope that helps.

    And next time you have a question, there is a thread stuck on the first page of the forum near the top, you should direct your questions there, thanks.

    Well, both questions have been answered. Nothing to do no, but go off topic. I'll get us started.

    She can detect him perfectly well, but he has a distinctive step that she can easily place.

    I am a gymnast, I can tell you we do get pain in our body from over exhurtition (spelling?), that can be caused also by not stretching, or stretching to much (I think); trying to put to much power into like a dismount, etc. I've used all the men equipment (horse, bars, & rings & floor) I can tell you i'd probably got the 'sorest' from horse, riings or floor. Oh & while i'm thinking of it I do have scoliosis.

    arthritis, maybe i have no idea. twinkle toes, in the blind bandit aang was using his airbending in the ring with toph (earthbending wwf, kinda) and she couldnt see where he was unil he landed, so she stated that he was pretty light on his feet and dubed him twinkle toes.
