what does that mean? Seriously, are you a kid?


You honestly don't know?

Again, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Well mark, when someone makes that gesture, it means that whatever the situation is, it's as easy to brush aside.  Like "no big deal" or "is that all you got?" or "This is nothing".  So, the way I used it above basically says that "you mean nothing to me".

I think perhaps you should go out with younger people and see exactly what's going on and how small things like this are relevant.

The fact that you don't know what some of these things mean, says a lot.  Further, the fact that you don't want to look them up on your own says even more.

"I think perhaps you should go out with younger people and see exactly what's going on and how small things like this are relevant."

 To be fair things like this aren't relevant to many people, and it is much easier to ask a question from the source than to "Google" multiple versions of the same question attempting to match what any one person means.

 I would have no reason to spend time researching a topic or gesture or image that has not impacted me negatively or positively in any way if I can just ask what something means.

 I Googled "Man making brushing gesture on shoulder" and arrived at this:

I disagree.  Yes, phrases like "throwing shade" and gestures like the one above may be foreign to some, but knowing what they represent is indeed beneficial.  Aren't you a teacher?  If so, don't you think knowing a different vernacular is important?

 I'm talking about the time to commit research to an image of a man making a gesture on his shoulder in comparison to the commitment of time it takes to ask "what does that mean?" from the person who presented the material.

 It is typically much faster to ask a direct question of the direct source than it is to research on one's own about a material that has had zero impact prior.   In this case especially because it is not a word that can be easily looked up from a dedicated reference source like a dictionary.

 I'm not saying the knowledge is not beneficial, I am saying it is faster to ask than it is to research.

 Why would I, or Webstermark take the less efficient route?

Understood Eegore.  I'm sure it took you less time to look it up rather than waiting for someone on here to tell you, correct?  Just 3 lines down from your search was "brush your shoulders off - Urban Dictionary" which explained it perfectly.

The point I was making was that the only reason mark asked me was because he wants to continue the confrontation.

That would be true in a face to face conversation.  But on a board such as this, you can't rely on people being on all the time and to answer in a timely fashion.  Further, as I pointed out, your search revealed the definition quickly.  That, and the context of how I presented the pic - well, suffice it to say that it'd be pretty hard not to know what i was inferring.

Confrontation? I thought it was humorous banter.....

So the "whistleblower" did not tell the Inspector General they had already spoken (coordinated?) their story with the Democrats on the committee. And the Democrats are protesting the proposal to release the full transcript of Volker's testimony which internal sources have said military aid was never mentioned as a carrot for investigating Biden.

As I said, much like the Blasey-Ford debacle, another fabricated story was grabbed by the Democratics who then piled lie upon lie to try and turn it into something.

This is TDS in action. Politicians survive (particularly true of national Democrats who have a willing national media behind them) by knowing how to manipulate the public but in the case of Trump, TDS has blinded them to reality and they're continually jumping the shark.

Like treasure hunters,
Today's the DAY!
It's gonna happen!
We got him NOW!
Over and Frikken OVER, outraged, spitting and fuming, over Bullshit lies.
How's that Kavanaugh impeachment going?
That corrupt prosecutor that Biden got fired? Haven't heard the last of him. He was going after corruption.
One part of me kinda wants the lefties to get everything they want, just so I can see what they do with the mess they made.

I am not sure I follow you....do you mean in dirt, like the kind Schiff got played with, or the one he mentioned, in his lying, not parody, in his opening remarks as committee leader?

No, as many have said here, Trump is not a angel, nor above law, or above critique....

However, if YOU, had been true to your OWN testimony, and disclosure, you'd not be saddled with this angst, presently, as you would have moved, out of the country.....  
So, in effect, its on you, you might try owning that, instead of wasting energy on stuff where you have no control......

Just a suggestion mind you, I have absolutely no expectation, tied to this advice   Grin

You spend far more time here than I do...
...and are far more long winded.
Funny your finger points outward.
Is your energy not wasted?... you believe you have more control?
The TT is only one boat.... we're all in it.

...and I'm the babysitter,.. I have to at least check in.
