I love the ‘pussling’ thingie. It’s overused but what the hell, always good for a laugh.
Image: Somebody with their mouth open in pretend puzzlement, slightly waving their hands, ‘puzzled’ as hell. this makes the other person go into long, elaborate explanations of the obvious, all of which the ‘puzzled’ person knows already but chooses to ignore.
In other words, a fake, bogus, phoney stance.
It should have been listed as one of the ‘Games People Play’ in that deservedly famous book.
eeek. pussling = puzzling.
sorry sorry.
