Beau Geste

Just the other day I looked up the meaning of this term. The definition I found was the following:

n. pl. beaux gestes or beau gestes 

1. A gracious gesture.

2. A gesture noble in form but meaningless in substance.

And then today,  almost out of the blue,  came a perfect illustration of this in my inbox from my Congresswoman Ann Wagner.

Such fun learning new things like the meaning of words and how congress works.
