Bodybuilding slang: Well-developed thigh muscles. (And presumably that would be quadriceps, or is it the whole thigh?) — Paul G 14:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(previous comment deleted, since no one replied before it went out-of-date anyway) I think it's acceptably cited now; care to take a look? —RuakhTALK 16:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A chariot[edit]

We have the sense "an automobile or other vehicle; a set of wheels"; I am just noting here that Chambers 1908 defines wheels as "a chariot", so it does apparently pre-date motor vehicles. Equinox 04:58, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In Sports[edit]

Sports slang: a person who can run fast has "good wheels"; a poor runner has "bad wheels". The definition could be something like "running ability".
