Heel

The heel was a part of the foot.

Heels were the subject of many idioms.

  • Achilles' heel
  • Dig one's heels in
  • Hang someone up/drag them in by their heels
  • Head over heels
  • Under one's heel

In 2367, Beverly Crusher wondered if simply thinking could restore her universe, referencing The Wizard of Oz: "Click my heels together three times and I'm back in Kansas. Can it be that simple?". (TNG: "Remember Me")

In 2372, the The Clown also referenced this work, taunting "Try clicking your heels together three times" (to leave his torturous games behind.) (VOY: "The Thaw")
