Oh-- getting back to Dance step.. and moving away from horizontal Tango movements...
Crossing thread again.. scoot, scootch, squiggle, sashay, surrey.. so many Swith soft, small, sensuous movements.. or are they rhythmic, sea like movements?
(dance theory says dance movements echo the dancers environments.. and people who live on flat plains have flat dances, with subtle movements.. and mountain dwellers have sharp angluar movements, with leaps and jumps.. and sea coast dwellers have rhtymic, pulsing movements, like the tides.. with occational, startling elements.. (rogue wave)..any thoughts on how words and language do the same?)

"Just a scosh.." long O ... is a New Englandism meaning a teeny weeny bit. At least so I thought.
Then I went to Hawaii and heard it there but thought to self "Well New England Missionaries did come here."
Then - lo and behold!
My Japanese neighbor used the word and I learned it is Japanese meaning a little bit!
Then I remembered that New England sailing ships visited Japan and stopped in Hawaii for water and fresh fruits/veggies.And there was an influx of Japanese into Hawaii in the 1800s. Then of course King Kalakaua, on a visit to Japan, suggested his daughter marry the Emporer's son but the idea came to nothing.
But that nothing to do with motion, unless you count the movement of time and the spheres and ... oh! Dear me! I am wandering too far afield ... again. Sorry!

>And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Geez, when you say slouches like that is sounds really threatening, like something evil is slithering on its way.
Slouches here, is usually done by teenages just hanging loose, not sitting upright, but with their backs curved a little.
Somehow though, your use seems very apt and conveys the "dark brooding shape coming this way" well.

All right, what's going on here?! Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, that's all we hear, it's like Christmas bells for heaven's sake. Fess up ladies, y'all can tell me, what is it makes Bingley such a hot commodity? Anything the rest of us ladies would be interested in? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

Bel, the answer is quite simple, the less attainable a man is, the more attractive he is.
My dear Mr. Bingley is located furthest, and farest away.
viewed through lens of 13,000 miles, any man looks good!
Women don't need distance to look good..
I have found it usually takes just over half dozen or so beer, or half as many of spirit for me to become alluring.. and with each additional drink a man has, the better looking i become!

Ladies, I think we will have to adopt the policy of angkot drivers, there is always room for one more. An angkot is a type of public transportation vehicle. See the picture here: http://indonesia.elga.net.id/indoway/angkot.jpg Easily holds 10-15 people plus the driver. Bingley
