I thought it was the English and the Americans who were one people 
divided by a language. Oh, well...

As Roger Schumann says, I'm not the head dink, but sometimes I get to be 
the assistant dink. When you do a brace, does your head stay centered on 
your shoulders, or does it move towards the working knee? If it 
moves--it does, doesn't it?--do you encourage your students to do the 
same? Do you have a name for that movement? Some people call that a head 
dink. What do Canadians call it?

Of course, Derek says you can dislocate your neck dinking, and we all 
know that whatever Derek says is ..... right?
