I believe it was actually meant to be haranguing

> like twisting your hand until you agree

I'm also gonna be that guy - hand wringing is a stereotype of an expression of distress, not coercion. You're thinking of the idiom "twisting someone's arm".

Hey man, don't be sorry!

I actually didn't know so this was a good correction! :)

I think you got flagged for the "incorrect" definition, but I think you were being playful with a mnemonic to remember it- so that's not fair.
