Over the past few days it became apparent that we need a full lexicon of response expressions to Bitter Gongfu. There do seem to be themes that repeat, and we have seen many and many recurring. Here is a working list that we came up with that probably need some elaboration and discussion. Please feel free to add styles you feel are legitimate and noteworthy. I believe some of you may see yourselves fitting int some of these categories, don't be shy.

Silent scream
Japanese exorcism
Sudden scream as if limb hacked off
Eating of unintelligible complaints
Coughing “I’m sick!”
Sobbing, male postpartum depression
Laughter
Self flagellation
Covering face in despair
Copious swearing
Facial seizure
Bell’s palsy
Closing eyes voluntary fainting
Surprise!
Complete memory lapse
Loss of cognitive function
Loud farting
Rapid turtle necking
Eyes roll up fall back sudden enlightenment
High pitched girlish shrieking
Anger “get the fuck away from me!”
Self esteem crash
Sudden overwhelming hunger/thirst
Wrathful deity face
Continuous stream of complaints
Numb zombie
 
Now that loud farting is explicitly in this list, I will feel free to signal my acceptance of bitterness accordingly going forward.

Nowhere did I state any of these were acceptable, just that they were common categories. Additionally, no need to pretend you were holding back before this list validating the practice.

I don't know where I fall with respect to expressing bitterness, but seeing this, I fully intend to incorporate the loud farting and high pitched girlish shrieking into my fajin practice. Ain't nobody wants to fight with that...
 
-'Teeth-nashing brain-freeze'-face
-R&B knees with agonizing head shake
-Stop, drop and put out the 'thigh fire' with thigh-slapping solo
'Failed Super Saiyan 3 transformation just to keep knee over toes'-face
-Giving up multidimensionally and succumbing to dark energy (like that guy who challenged Bruce did in 'Dragon - The Bruce Lee Story' right before he injured Bruce's back with that dirty move)
-LeBron James flopping caused by (attempted) heel attainment
-Pronouncing English vowels with exaggerated mouth movements while on mute
