The saying "If you wanna bite the stork's ankle, you gotta edge the mollusk" metaphorically conveys the idea that in order to achieve a difficult or desired outcome, one must be willing to undertake unconventional or challenging actions. The stork's ankle represents a valuable and elusive target, while the mollusk symbolizes a barrier or obstacle that must be overcome. Edging the mollusk implies a careful and deliberate approach, taking small, precise steps to navigate around or overcome the obstacle. Therefore, the saying suggests that to achieve something significant, one must be willing to embrace unconventional methods and patiently work through challenges.

edge

a comedic style in which a person, usually a 12-15 y.o. male, says or does something incredibly offensive and crass with their main intentions being to overcome their woefully bland sense of humor, make themselves appear intellectual, and offend others. edge is most commonly employed by young teens who haven't quite yet developed a personality and have browsed through a few too many unsavory subreddits.

edge is not the same as dark humor, in which the offensive statements are made with an actual punchline or crux of the joke. edge is typically pointless, interchangeable rambling.
