Two Years Ago on CM: Lord, I Hope He's Texting. (From Middle Aged and Morose.)
Dear Student:
I am not blind.
You are sitting 12 feet away from me and you're looking down at your lap - where your hands appear to be extremely busy - and you're grinning like a fool.
But my grandmother (the very proper one) always called it a "shuttlecock." What she would make of this application of the term, I'm not sure (although very proper, she was not a prude -- in fact, she was a doctor's daughter who believed in sex education -- so she might actually chuckle).
Fab, your choice of graphic is so naughty!
