2006, Prabhaker Acharya, The Suragi Tree, page 208Hardly surprising, then, that the first time I witnessed 'Adam teasing' , I nearly whooped with joy. There, trundling along Aurobindo Marg, came an autorickshaw packed with the loudest, most outrageous women I'd ever seen. […] The auto careened to a stop and out they spilled, surrounding some poor hapless chap, wiggling their hips at him, pinching his bum, their eyes flashing, tossing their proud manes, daring him to flirt back.
2010, Khushwant Singh, City Improbable, page 239
