The term also describes a dark, thick font used when typing (like this).
2 armpits: This is the correct choice. An "armpit" is the underside of the arm under the shoulder. That's where you apply deodorant! In this conversation, Cheryl tells Philip that she has a market of 400 million consumers ready to buy deodorant, which equates to 800 million armpits!
