I hope milum did not really gather rosebuds with a hot iron. A rigid digit, but not flesh searing.
Which reminds me of Chaucer's Millers Tale. It seemed to me unlikely that a smith would be
working at night for the unwelcome suitor to get the hot iron to goose Nicholas with.

when some actors had little behaviour items that were not copied by others

Are you thinking of ARGs (automatic reflex gestures)? Probably not, since anybody COULD copy 'em. They are just one way of establishing your character.

I'm a bit late into the picture with this, but what about idiosyncrasies. They're not quite a signature item, but they are what often identifies an actor / character / person, and they can be physical, verbal, emotional...
