Great list- some are very new to me. It also contains one of my favourite words which is flail. Always makes me laugh to think of someone flailing around.

I’ve never had the opportunity to use flail, but I love the word. I can almost imagine the gesture even though people don’t usually do such gestures. It’s still a fascinating word.

Yeah I think it’s a very exaggerated way of expression so people don’t generally flail around but when they do it’s very amusing.

It’s actually not a social network? 🤔 More like an instant messaging platform where you can send all the messages you want for free, unlike via SMS.
