What Does This Mean?

[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

Chinese fandom and forum label for a person with a special fondness for the look of legs, formed with the internet-slang suffix 控 ("devotee of"). It names a non-explicit aesthetic preference in the same family as 手控, 颜控 and 声控.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"A self-described "腿控", he praised the dancer's long, graceful lines."

LORE & ORIGIN

Chinese Wiktionary records 控 as an internet-slang suffix, first used mainly in anime, comics and games, for excessive fondness for a thing, and traces it through 萝莉控 to Japanese ロリコン. No page opened here documents 腿控 itself, so its first use and spread are not documented; the meaning follows from the suffix.
