I’m sorry to be that guy but it’s “handwringing” - twisting your hand like you wring your clothes until you agree
- crabmusket 8mo ago> like twisting your hand until you agree I'm also gonna be that guy - hand wringing is a stereotype of an expression of distress, not coercion. You're thinking of the idiom "twisting someone's arm".

- dijit 8mo agoHey man, don't be sorry! I actually didn't know so this was a good correction! :) I think you got flagged for the "incorrect" definition, but I think you were being playful with a mnemonic to remember it- so that's not fair.
