"pins"--I love that!

It comes from Cockney Rhyming Slang.

Pin Pegs = Legs

Only the first part is used so pins = legs

Oh, Cockney Rhyming Slang! That's wild stuff. People give Americans a hard time for our slang, but I think the English could give us a run for our money. And from what I've heard from my husband, the people from Naples Italy do a pretty good job of butchering their own language too.

Oh wait..... what was this thread about again? (sorry OP)

I can't find an actual rhyme for this so might be more straight slang rather than rhyming slang.

Closest I could find was needle and pin - thin.
