My ex-boyfriend's son called his penis a winker.

Presumably c. 18th/19th C they started getting a bit better - maybe looking a bit like Abbott,

I'll have none of this *shoots Popeye wink-scowl*

I think winking should involve SOME cheek movement anyway or you look like one of those blinking baby dolls where the blinking mechanism broke in one eye and it's half-closed all the time (if you are familiar with this phenomenon).

(This is me trying to reassure myself.)
(ha ha)

I used to but people would just ask me if I was having a seizure so I stopped

I inexplicably could only wink my left eye until I was about 20.

Everything else is secondary, Friday, 2 December 2011 13:09 (twelve years ago) link

I can't do it convincingly tbh, feel that the rest of my face more than makes up for this deficit though and have a healthy regard for those people who can (similar to that held for those who are good whistlers)

Could probably count on one hand the times I've winked intentionally

BTW: receiving a flirtatious wink: Classicest of Classics. And receiving a lech wink is just as Dud.

i can't wink without making a very offputting scrunchy face, so, its probably best i drop a 'never wink' vote

i winked and finger gunned in class today when someone finally got the right answer
i think this is the only time i wink?

Sometimes winker.

Mr. Farmer, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:12 (twelve years ago) link

long-time listener, first-time winker

n/a, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:22 (twelve years ago) link

Who am I kidding. I wink on a fairly regular basis.

recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Friday, 2 December 2011 17:40 (twelve years ago) link

I am winking as I type this

OH NOES, Friday, 2 December 2011 17:50 (twelve years ago) link

now have 18th Dye's "Can U Wink" stuck in my head

There are moments when only a wink will do the job and do it right. These are few, but precious.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I completely unironically winked at somebody yesterday.

thejenny, Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:51 (twelve years ago) link

trying now out of boredom i question whether i even can wink

є(٥_ ٥)э, Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:54 (twelve years ago) link

when u fingerpoint while winking, do you *snap* the point into place? i do.

Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:56 (twelve years ago) link

lol yeah

wil smif, Sunday, 4 December 2011 03:05 (twelve years ago) link

I'm never sure if I can wink properly. I'll have to test this with a partner sometime.

Sandbox Jesse, Sunday, 4 December 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link

try winking at random strangers in a bar or in the street and ask them if you're doing it right

you could cut the tension with a knife!!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

63 votes in a sandbox poll o_O might be just me but sandbox still feels like such a pioneering venture for me. It's like Mission to Mars. I miss all the ilx pals that didn't make it. Surprised to actually see 63 people here (of whom 53 sometimes or frequently or one time winked!)

lebateauivre, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:11 (twelve years ago) link

too cuet

lebateauivre, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:18 (twelve years ago) link

without a holster too

lebateauivre, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:18 (twelve years ago) link

omg I want that shirt

dayo, Monday, 5 December 2011 00:23 (twelve years ago) link

found it at a goodwill in 93 or so?
wore the hell out of it in college
put it into the clothing archives for safekeeping
busted it out earlier this year for a airplane related special occasion

my favorite tshirt of all time possibly
no idea where it came from!

ll, you should take up winking as a signature gesture, that is a marvellous wink, you've got the wink factor.

estela, Monday, 5 December 2011 08:14 (twelve years ago) link

And the teeth factor!

this thread reminded me that there are a few times during "inception" when leo dicaprio is sitting down and talking to people, and mid-sentence he winks in this unconscious, twitchy kind of way. it annoyed me cuz it made me think "i bet leo dicaprio winks like that all the time irl."

reddening, Monday, 5 December 2011 19:10 (twelve years ago) link

i winked today once for real at a person (a you-know-what-i'm-talking-about) and once at the highway while i was singing an alice cooper song in my car.

rusty flathead screwdriver, Tuesday, 6 December 2011 14:43 (twelve years ago) link

I sincerely hope it was!

Tony Hart land (Deep in the Tony Hart land), Tuesday, 6 December 2011 14:45 (twelve years ago) link

I have the thing where if I try to wink that eye just stays shut. Not forever or anything but longer than standard appropriate wink-length.

cat fancy, Tuesday, 6 December 2011 15:01 (twelve years ago) link

Pretty sure it was "Billion Dollar Babies", sorry to disappoint

souslatablelaplage, Thursday, 8 December 2011 02:40 (twelve years ago) link
