Look, anybody can open a bag of chips. I could just clamp down and rip it to shreds without a second thought. I want to open the bag without exploding the contents. So I pull just a little. And I struggle to find the point that it gives without losing control. I want a word for the tiny struggle.
It’s slow. It’s controlled, methodical, purposeful, patient, delicate, but it is not weakness. I think that deserves a word.
At the risk of teaching you something you might already know:
Instead of pulling both sides independently, you should brace your hands against each other. Grab the sides of the bag with your fingers, and have the palms push against each other. That way, as soon as the bag opens, the pressure between your palms is released and you “automatically” stop pulling the bag open.

I need a digram…

Wait no, that’s the aftermath.
