"finger-like" pieces of chicken
The library lunchroom conversation turned bad as one coworker struggled to describe the size of the frozen chicken pieces she likes. "They are about... well... this big" holding up her hand, index finger pointing out. Gross. Visions of breaded chicken and breaded fingers all jumbled together in my mind. I don't eat meat, but I wouldn't refer to anything I was going to eat as "finger-like".
A different coworker gave me a boney chicken finger-like handshake, where she shoved her boney chicken-like finger into the back of my hand. It actually hurt, and I wondered if I had stumbled into some alternate universe and was about to be killed by her poultry grip.
