Flangiprop! A Brand New Dance!!

Flangiprop!

Invent a definition for the word “flangiprop,” then use the word in a post. 

 

Flangiprop ~~ Noun or Verb. To bust a move. Get your Groove on. Trip the Light Fantastic. Boogie.

Said Scalawags began to Flangiprop voraciously about the Village Square. The Flangiprop is the heir apparent to well known jive moves dance Futterwacken.  Flangiproping involves a nimble spin of the feet, high kicks in the air and energetic gyrating of the hips.  Revolutions of the head coupled with airplane like fish swimming moves of the arms and hands announce the Serious Flangipropper!!

The skilled Flangiprop Dancer will combine the refined moves of ballet along with the gymnastic skills of break-dancing with James Brown/Michael Jackson/MC Hammer outbreaks.  One must be extremely physically fit in order to engage in Tripping the Light Fantastic for what may be hours on end. In fact Flangiprop vs Futterwacken Dance contests could last indefinitely if not kept in check by the Dance judges.

Teenage Flangiproppers have incorporated Parkour Moves into the dance along with skate boards that seem to appear at inopportune moments but have been strategically placed by the Flangiproppers to give an extra element of skillful challenge to the event.

The Nubian Ninja will challenge Spiderman to a Flangiprop | Futterwacken ~~ Old Skool Electric Hip-Hop House Music Battle July 4th, 2020 at Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem. Be there or be square!

Handwriting | The Daily Post

Handwriting

Many of us have heard the expression “Handwriting on the Wall.”  Here is where it may have originated.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%205

Daniel 5 New King James Version (NKJV)

In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his knees knocked against each other.

Ambidextrous

Some people are Ambidextrous. I am not one of them. I’m right handed. Stephen is left handed.  Because of past battles with carpel tunnel syndrome and current wars with arthritis I hate to sign paperwork or documents.  As a writer I carry around a small notebook but some days I can’t even read my own handwriting!!

 

am·bi·dex·trous
ˌambēˈdekst(ə)rəs/
adjective
  1. (of a person) able to use the right and left hands equally well.
    “few of us are naturally ambidextrous”
    • (of an implement) designed to be used by left-handed and right-handed people with equal ease.

Automatic writing

Some people have or claim to have the ability to write messages from the great beyond. I’ve had my own spiritual or out of body experiences so perhaps there is some truth to this ability.  Personally I believe in approaching the spirit world with great care for both evil and good exists in these realms.

寒山
“Kanzan” (Cold Mountain)

Artist: Inoue Yūichi (Japanese, 1916–1985)
Period: Showa period (1926–89)
Date: 1966

I am not a linguist by any stretch of the imagination but I believe handwriting encompasses not only alphabets used by many cultures but pictorial etchings including Egyptian hieroglyphics. Love Japanese, Farsi and Arabic writing also. I find character based handwriting fascinating. Calligraphy is one of my favorite art forms.

When I was a little girl I made up my own personal alphabet, handwriting and words. Designed a book in which my main character Mr. X had various adventures. I could not have been more than seven or eight.  Not to brag but I was creatively gifted as a child and my parents encouraged me. They were always buying me various art supplies and Mom and Dad kept me engaged with arts & crafts. As for my book I think it lies in the bottom of my trunk which is now in storage until I can once more afford my own place.
