lap - the top part of your legs that forms a flat surface when you are sitting down. (Oxfore ALD)
I was discussing this with a colleague. It seems to us that laps exist only when we are sitting and only when we have the idea that someone or something is, or may in the near future, be on them. We could not think of any other 'part of the body', or indeed any other 'location' that has such a limited existence.
I'd be interested to know what others think.
