Write a sentence using the word "brandishing," or some variation, but . .
. . . don't use gun, knife or the name of a weapon in the sentence.

I think it is high time we expanded the use of this word in everyday language.

"She brandished a marshmallow at me before stuffing it whole in her mouth."

10. He brandished his ignorance as though it was insightful...
so she brandished her contempt for him like a torch in the darkness.
