Hah!  I never thought to classify and catalog these bits.  But as I
see them listed, I realize that they are part of my internal,
automatic jerkball detector.  Just seeing those expressions listed
brings to mind images of Jerks I Have Known and of the occasions upon
which I realized they were jerks.

No wonder I never managed to get it on with the Art Establishment, eh?
