Playing ‘kneesies’, for instance, meant rubbing or touching knees in a flirtatious and surreptitious manner, especially while seated where such activity would be concealed, as under a dining table.
Eric Rohmer's film Claire's Knee tells the story of an older man infatuated by a younger woman; her knee is the first focus of his desire when he encounters her on a ladder in an orchard.
Fashions which exposed women's knees were considered daring and risqué in the 1920s — a sign of new freedoms; however, by the 1940s short pants were acceptable for both men and women.
And in the 70's Hot Pants were all the rage.
I wore them myself :~))
