What Is THAT? Flop Sweat

Beads of perspiration stream down your face. You see it in comedy (when you are afraid you're doing badly, or flopping). You see it in business, any walk of life when you have performance anxiety, or your general sense of nervousness marches your sweat glands into overtime. Albert Brooks' character did so famously in the movie "Broadcast News"

I've had it only once in my life - when the police came to the door asking why the neighbors saw a young lady climb out a second floor bedroom window, slide down the soffet and hop on to the ground. Since this was my son's young lady, this particular variety is fondly remembered as  pop-cop sweat. Hey, weren't these neighbors teenagers at one time?
No kidding.
