"Limp-Wristed" has a particular funniness to me, being a drummer. We spend so much time with our limbs locked in 90 degree muscle tension, that sometimes, well, your arm tends to assume that 90 degree position without you thinking about it. And, the wrist, well, you dont' want to hold any tension in the wrist, you gotta keep it loosey goosey, so, basically what happens is, without thinking about it, you're standing there, or walking along in the perfect, stereotypical "limp-wristed" pose.
