"D" is distinction

"He had wanted to be a sophomore, felt the word carried a kind of distinction, but the truck broke down short of it, pitching him directly into ranch work." From the story.

"F" is forehead

Here's another body part:

"Ennis said nothing, straightened up slowly, rubbed at his forehead; a horse stamped inside the trailer.  He walked to his truck, put his hand on the trailer, said something that only the horses could hear, turned and walked back at a deliberate pace."   [short story]

"K" is knock-your-socks-off

Ennis didn't realize that he was in for a knock-your-socks-off experience when Jack told him to quit his hammerin' and get in the tent.
