Topic: "Do we have a tag for that" thread

I've actually been looking to see if it has a proper name but no luck so far.

English is a crazy language because so many things are just left unnamed until a someone basically comes along and gives them a good name that sticks.

Did you know "elbow" wasn't a real word until Shakespeare invented it? Yep, up until that time there was just no good word for that particular part of the body. Seems crazy to me. Dude invented a crazy amount of words we take for granted today

Maybe there should just be a tag for "threatening_gesture" because there are quite a few that just don't have names afaik...drawing your finger across your throat (basically meaning "I'm gunna slit your throat")...outstretched hands like you're choking an invisible throat. Even forming your hands into a claw-like posture like you're going to grab someone...all of these don't have name afaik but could all easily be thrown into a "threatening_gesture" tag.
