Question

flail v.挥动；用连迦打；敲打n.连迦 (1) 小孩的两条小腿在被子下面乱动。(2) 连耞虽然平时不常使用, 但在打碾庄稼的时节, 谁家也离不开它。 Flail originates with the Latin word flagellum, which is a whip. It is also related to the noun flail, a stick with a swinging attachment to it, used to thresh grain. As a verb, it most often refers to arms, but can also involve the whole body, especially if someone is a very wild dancer. Other things can flail as well. If someone admits that his business is flailing, it’s probably lacking direction and not doing very well.
