<thumping your chest and flinging excrement...>
Bravo! What wonderful imagery! A new and creative insult makes my day. It's so boring for Nadine to, once again, call me a fascist, coward, and traitor. Thanks.
Chimpanzees share 98.5% of their genome with us. When establishing their dominance hierarchies, they will frequently throw things at each other. Usually rocks or sticks. Throwing things is a very effective way to win an argument among chimpanzees. Chest-thumping, on the other hand, doesn't impress anyone, not even juvenile females.
Males throw things a lot more than females. But, since they have a horror of touching feces, they won't fling excrement, although it probably would be an effective missile.
Of course, being an evolved ape, I could just put on gloves... |
