Femoralia
Femoralia or feminalia and tibialia were a kind of leg covering used in ancient Rome, the femoralia covering the upper leg (cf. femur) and the tibialia covering the lower leg (cf. tibia).
Femoralia are sometimes described as short trousers or breeches, and tibialia as leggings.[1]

gollark: If there was a mechanism in place to stop people doing that sort of only-self-harming-maybe stuff, which there is now, it *would* (and *has*) been affected by political pressure.
gollark: Thing is, this mechanism for banning things would be controlled by a *government* or something, which means that when a sufficient mass of people complain that something is Clearly Immoral™ (see: homosexuality, drugs, whatever else) it would be banned.
gollark: Too bad!
