      A sensible reaction to seeing someone look like that would be “oh my, you poor thing, hop in and I’ll take you to a hospital”.

    This and the “time warp” pose:

    Put your hands on your hips, and bring your knees in tight…

      This and the “time warp” pose:

      That’s what that pose was??

      I always thought it was the “I’m about to shit my pants” pose, and I never made the connection to Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    Now we’re in the ‘bro’ era, among others, I’m sure.

    Ending every other sentence with ‘bro’ makes one sound like a simpleton, but I’m old so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about.

      From personal experience, the problem is that you use it ironically, maybe with your kids or buddies, and it’s fun for a time.

      Then one day you realize you’ve fully adopted it and you look in the mirror and ask yourself “What happened to you, bro?”

      Haha, yeah. I had about the same reaction when I read that. I thought for sure it was an early 2000s thing.

    In an animal communication studies of capuchin monkeys, the “duck face” term has been used synonymously with “protruded lip face”, which females exhibit in the proceptive phase before mating.
