Well, not trying to be a killjoy, but it’s the other way around: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=flail
Both the weapon flail and (after that) the verb, is derived from the tool.
Hehehe, yep, I know, I just thought it’d be silly if it went the other way. But it’s quite interesting to see where the word we use today as the verb came from. I’m glad that every now or then the comments section becomes a bit of a history lesson, adding information or context. And thanks for linking to that page! I’m saving it now for future refere.
Now it makes sense!
Historically it was the other way around, but I do wonder how they called “flailing” your arms like a goof back in those days.
jaja, la idea es buena, la ejecución no….
Es el talón de aquiles de taaantos inventos…
Bueno, este al parecer funciono, aunque alguien debio mejorar la ejecucion posteriormente. Aunque asi se ve mas peligroso, jeje.
jajajajaja muy buena, yo mejor hubiese tomado la espada del augurio… o ese cotonete gigante xD
Mas practicas, pero estaba emocionado por su invento.
