1. Winking

   A wink is a facial expression made by briefly closing one eye. A wink is an informal mode of non-verbal communication usually signaling shared hidden knowledge or intent. However, it is ambiguous by itself and highly dependent upon additional context, without which a wink could become misinterpreted or even nonsensical. For example, in some regions of the world, a wink may be considered rude or offensive. And depending on the relationship of the people involved, a wink could possibly constitute a sexual gesture.

Examples of winking in a Sentence

1. Andy Duncan:

   The eccentricity I value is essentially benign, a harmless individualism that reflects a unique, cockeyed view of the world, and spices up what otherwise might be a mundane menu, these eccentrics tend to be self-aware and tongue in cheek. They're winking at us. Some eccentrics, moreover, are just visionaries ahead of their time, like the early advocates of such eccentric notions as animal welfare.

2. Elizabeth Warren:

   It comes in all sorts of flavors : racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia. It comes in all sorts of forms : nasty personal attacks. Trolling on Twitter. Winking at white supremacists. It all adds up to the same thing : the politics of division.
