Christina Applegate is sharing the unique names that she’s given to some of her body parts amid her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis.
The Dead to Me actress, 54, revealed on Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live that she often uses the nicknames to scold her body parts when they start acting up.
“They’re pretty funny,” Applegate told host Jimmy Kimmel of the names. She then clarified, “And, by the way, this is not, like, derogatory to any of the people that I’m saying it about because one of them is very famous.

Applegate began her body part tour by waving her right hand, which she introduced as Barbara. “Barbara is married to Stanley,” she explained, before showcasing her left hand Stan. “Barbara’s gay, she has like a friend that she lives with.”
When Kimmel asked if Stanley knew of Barbara’s infidelity, Applegate replied, “He does, but he loves her. They’re good, okay?”
She then revealed her right knee has received the royal treatment. “And we have Meghan Markle,” Applegate added. “And that’s not a bad thing. It’s like, ‘Meghan, thank you.’ Thank you.”

Accompanying Meghan was her left knee Tootie, which got its name from Kim Fields’ character on Facts of Life.
“Do you talk to Barbara, Stanley, Meghan, and Tootie?” Kimmel asked. To which Applegate responded, “Yes, yes, completely, because when they get weird, we yell at them and say, ‘Hey, man! Stop it!’”

And, somehow, it really does help. “It actually does,” she confirmed. “Because it’s a brain disorder, so it kinda stops it. It’s weird!”
Applegate explained that she wasn’t advised by anyone to name her body parts and instead came up with the idea herself because “I’m freaking brilliant.”
Later in their conversation, however, she admitted that she wasn’t sure if the Duchess of Sussex would be pleased to find out that she’d named one of her knees after her.
“I think she’s probably gonna be mad about that,” she confessed. “But you know what? It’s really not, like, a bad thing. It’s really like, ‘Can you just please help me, Meghan!’”
“Why would she be mad that you named one of your favorite body parts after her?” Kimmel asked. “No, I think she’ll be perfectly okay with it. And if not then, you know, whatever.”
Applegate felt similarly. “Whatever,” she replied. “I don’t really give a crap on a cracker.”
