Supportive

A stick of limp celery. A way of saying one tends to agree with something — so the initiative can proceed — which leaves the approver enough wriggle room to categorically deny that later on. Can be further limpened with inclination - the implication being that if gravity is allowed to do its work, I might eventually arrive at a position of agreement but I am not there yet, and who knows what disturbances in the space-time continuum might intervene to take me to a different place?
