adroit (adj.) – skillful;
resourceful; great with hands and/or body
for
your edification: You’re just going to have to go on a little
journey with me for this one. Let’s go
there. So, adroit sounds (to me) an awful lot like “Detroit”, don’t you
think? Do they call Detroit “the ‘droit”?
If they don’t, they should.
Totally. So, in your head, when
you see “adroit," you need to
automatically think of Detroit (or “the ‘droit”,
if you’re ready to start that revolution with me). Oh, and one more thing: you automatically need to associate Detroit
with skillful, resourceful, great with
their hands and/or bodies inhabitants.
It can be those carmakers if you want.
It can be one of those guys from one of those sports teams that hail
from the ‘droit. But, in our heads, Detroit = adroit = awesome. Super-skilled. Really great at things.
examplification -
Crazy Gina:
I could watch those baseball players from the ‘droit all day. They are
completely adroit
with
their skillful hands, never dropping
a ball.
Birthmark
Tony: Those are football players.
