Cocking a Snook
I had heard our cross-pond brethren mouthing this term – oh so laced with innuendo – for years now but had always wondered what it meant, my imagination often getting the better of me. Thank God for Google.
Essentially it means, “to show that you do not respect something or someone by doing something that insults them.” Well, if you have ever been legally responsible for the actions of a teenager then you have experienced this snook-cocking first hand.
Teens molt into adults like gallstones empty down the urethra: slow and painful. The measure and pace that they shed their youthful innocence, they fill up with angst and anger. They oh so want to control their own fates, but are not yet equipped to do so. So they chaff and rebel against any form of authority or common sense.
There are four teens living under our roof. For the most part, like when the moon is blue and full, they respect their elders. The rest of the time they roll their eyes and make strange pfffftttttt sounds as graphic counterinsurgency to our benevolent dictatorship.
Have you ever cocked a snook in your life? Do tell?
