The armpit; the area under the arm.
From Old English 'oxta' (armpit), from Proto-Germanic '*ahslo' (shoulder). Still used in Scotland and Northern England. A wonderfully blunt word for a body part everyone has but nobody discusses.
A perfectly good word for ARMPIT that Scottish and Northern English people still use! 'Get that ball from under your oxter!' Why did the rest of English abandon this gem? BRING BACK OXTER! 💪🏴
