A take-off on the phrase "arms akimbo", meaning to give a visualization of someone bending the legs with the knees to the outside but with the feet together. Possibly first used in print by the cartoonist Johnny Hart in the cartoon B.C., where a character mentions a female nightclub dancer named Legs Akimbo. This is to indicate that her act is risqué, as her crotch would be exposed, or that she would dance in a wild fashion, with great abandon.
