examples: As I stumbled with wet-noodle legs onto what was now the disembarkation platform, Zed remarked that I had turned “a most peculiar shade of green."
Using a narrative approach—rather than the more conventional concept-based approach to theologizing—Patrick ably guides us beyond rigid fundamentalism, wet-noodle liberalism, and technique-based ecclesiology to a kind of direct engagement with the Spirit that is as wholesome as it is life-transforming.
Then they began to wallow, swatting at each other with their wet-noodle trunks.
Perfectly cool because, as I swim, it keeps my body temperature cool, allowing me to “go the distance” before my body gives out from the “wet-noodle” effect of heat.
No matter how slimy the other Guy's wet-noodle handshake may be, never crush his hand.

Furthermore, for reasons that will by now be obvious, interhouse relations represent a paradigm for the politics of agnation at large: any competition for influence or position among patrilateral kin is, in essence, a rivalry between houses produced by a shared ancestor and reproduced across the generations, and particular units, whether or not they take the initiative in such processes, are ultimately drawn into their purview (see chap. 2).
