Examples
“The vote was taken by a show of hands.”
“You know those actors who become famous for a role that requires them to fake a totally different accent than the one they have IRL and then when you finally hear them speak in their natural accent, you feel this weird mix of emotions that’s somehow simultaneously impressed, incredulous, and a little betrayed all at once? Okay, now show of hands if Millie Bobby Brown was one of those actors for you.”
