As defined by
Lenny Bruce, the art of using the traditional means of male-to-female
seduction between men for nonsexual purposes. Gambits such as prolonged
eye contact, the bestowal of small
attentions, such as lighting
cigarettes, small familiarities, even light touches on hands and shoulders, all can be used. The main
strategy is to be (or appear to be) so fascinated by the other
person that nothing else in the
universe seems to matter.
It's amazing how far you can go with this without the other person catching on...and, quite often, you will get the favor you wanted.
