Out of the Ordinary

  • Gestures.

    Recently I'v become enamoured of  the suffix " – ish".  When asked how I am feeling but not sure how I am feeling, I will say "Well-ish" and likely raise my hand and rotate my palm back and forth.  Now that palm motion may be an expression of  "-ish" and suitable on its own.  So is a minor shoulder shrug.  Or a slight angle of head with raised eyebrows.

    Now if someone asks  "You aren't looking great, are you okay?" my positive/negative self has a bit of a tussle and I am apt to reply.  "I'm fine, thanks for asking, how are you doing?"  Problem is, the other person might start telling me all about his or her troubles!

    I googled Gestures and came up with much information!  The most often used gesture was the thumbs up sign.👍
