She treated him to a Gentle Ben before his big presentation. He presented like a champ. He was pleased.

The smile you've always needed a name for. You may have seen a gentle smile in your seventh grade school photo, or an awkward family photo album. Usually, the result of your mother telling you to tone down your overly-excited braces-filled smile. Your entire face is relaxed and you can just barely see the top line of your teeth breaking out of that ever so gentle smile. A beautiful thing. And it now has a name. #gentlesmile
Kristen's seventh grade photo will be a fabulous Throwback Thursday because she's got hardcore gentle smile action going on. So relatable.

A kissing move where the person's tongue moves slowly in and out of their mouth, similar to a frog trying to catch a fly.

Another term for the mentally or physically handicapped. The preferred GAB euphemism for a window licking 'tard. Each 'tard is different, unique and special in his or her own way.
"Phil's brother Joey shit himself constantly, would throw meat at Phil during dinner, and once sang "Oh Mickey" for 400 days straight; despite all this, Phil still loved the crap out of that gentle snowflake." -Phuc

The act of pretending to be courteous in reminding someone that they didn't do what you told them to do when in fact you are being extremely condescending.

A British progressive rock band known for their complex classically influenced music, polyphonic vocal arrangments and use of non-standard instruments such as saxophone, violin, cello, trumpet, marimba and more. Formed by the three Shulman brothers Phil (vocals, horns, bass), Derek (vocals, sax, bass) and Ray (bass, violin, guitar, vocals) as well as Kerry Minnear (keyboards, vocals, cello, vibraphone), Gary Green (guitar, recorder, vocals) and Martin Smith (percussion) in 1970. Martin Smith was eventually replaced by Malcolm Mortimore, who was then replaced by John Weathers. Phil Shulman left the band after the fourth album. After 8 complex progressive studio albums and an energetic live album, the band started to take a more commercial approach. However, due to lack of success and inspiration, Gentle Giant broke up in 1980. Although there has been no full reunion, Gary Green, Malcolm Mortimore, and Kerry Minnear (as well as a few other musicians) have been performing as "Three Friends", playing many Gentle Giant classics.
Although Gentle Giant is a talented band, they are definitely an acquired taste. I've shown them to three friends, and they all think these guys sound almost like octopuses able to play music. You may think you're stuck in a glass house when you can't seem to understand the power and the glory everyone says they have. However, if you have a free hand, you may be able to interview someone about them. Perhaps then, you will find the missing piece and be a giant for a day, rather than just a civilian.
