Tigh

The word "tigh" is an archaic or dialectal variant of the word "thigh." The thigh is the part of the human leg between the hip and the knee. It is the longest bone in the human body, the femur, located within this region. The thigh muscles are crucial for locomotion, including walking, running, and jumping. In culinary contexts, "thigh" is often used to refer to the meat from this part of poultry, such as chicken or turkey, and is generally considered a more flavorful and tender cut compared to breast meat. Historically, references to "tigh" might appear in older texts, poetry, or regional dialects where the pronunciation or spelling differed from modern standard English. The precise etymological origin of "thigh" traces back to Old English "þēoh," and "tigh" represents a phonetic or orthographic variation that has largely fallen out of common usage.
