1 more example
To keep the people who are doing the passing sensitive to the pesron being passed […], you might want to ask them to hum or chant or whisper sweet nothings. The passee, aside from worrying about being dropped, might also spend a lot of her time worrying, more rightfully, about being touched, as they say, “inappropriately.”
