Meaning of fingerpointing | Babel Free
Definitions
Noun. [C2]
Examples
“The case is the same with words like ‘here’ and ‘there’. In all such cases, the mere wording, as it can be written down, is not the complete expression of the thought—but one further needs for its correct apprehension the knowledge of certain circumstances accompanying the utterance, which are used as means of expressing the thought. Fingerpointings, gestures and glances may belong here too.”
“The delays have caused much fingerpointing about who at the United Nations -backed Special Court for Sierra Leone is most to blame.”
