Talk:Fist (disambiguation)

dicdef

• The term used to describe the clenched hand when the fingers are curled into the palm and the thumb is retracted. This is typically used in unarmed combat, such as fist-fighting. See also Punch (strike).

This entry isn't mentioned at all in the hand article. It's clearly correct, factually. Can this become it's own article or should it be removed as a dicdef. Wiktionary does a good job with it: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fist Tedernst | talk 20:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Since a fist is used to describe anger/power, people use it to demonstrate displeasure with the government, or to show a rise in some other power.

I agree that there should be some mentioning to the symbol of a fist, there's a particular design that is used in anarchist and related movements.

Found an existing article, Raised Fist. -- 75.183.7.184 (talk) 02:36, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Fist as a Squad

Wondering if anyone else has ever heard this usage before. Here is an example: "Sir, the enemy has infiltrated our defenses! 'Then send a fist of men at them!'" Saji Loupgarou (talk) 05:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Here is an example of it in use. I think this enough to add it to the article. If anyone disagrees, please revert and we will discuss.
