A mysterious
Physical Therapy/Bodywork technique.
This term is used in a
condescending way to refer to trade
secrets that you will never learn, even if you spend large
amounts of money and take all the continuing education
classes.
The final flick, brush, glaze, goodbye, given to a student or
perhaps a disdained client at the end of a session. There is
apparent relish given to the ambiguity of this term as it
could be interpreted to literally refer to a bona-fide
cryo-therapy technique, or equally construed in a sexual
way. A "coup de gras" of sorts.
Not revealing your sources of
information. Icing refers to
tightly held Copyright, Corporate and/or Trade Secrets -
that the instructor actually cannot legally copyright!
"I can teach you all there is to know, about
baking a cake,
but I will not reveal my icing recipe."
The Professor was kind to all of his students, but never
shared the secret to his "icing" technique; not even with
his long term research
assistant.
