What is the definition of broad palmed? 🙋

👉 The word "broad palmed" is a term from ancient Greek that means to completely take something out of its context, without taking anything else with it. In other words, it's like taking everything in and putting the whole thing on hold.


For instance, suppose you're trying to decide what to eat for dinner. You have all your favorite dishes and ingredients ready but you suddenly realize you don't want any of them because you just ate dinner with friends who don't cook well. Now, instead of having a big, mouthful of food, you'll simply say "Nope!" or "Too much for me." It's as if you're completely at the mercy of your dining companions' culinary choices and can't even choose what to eat. But wait! There's more! Just because you don't have everything in your mind doesn't mean you won't still get into a lot of trouble. In this example, you might accidentally say "Nope!" twice, which could lead to an unpleasant situation where people are either left hungry or confused about what you're trying to achieve with dinner. So, while it may seem like just taking everything out of context is the norm in many situations, it's actually quite rare and can be a lot more fun when handled delicately.
