For a bit of my own medicine (because I can't think for myself)

fil·lip (flp)
n.
1. A snap or light blow made by pressing a fingertip against the thumb and suddenly releasing it.
2. An embellishment that excites or stimulates: "Spritely tabasco onions, just a little crunch for the
top, were an added fillip" Alison Arnett.
3. One that is trivial or of little importance.
tr.v. fil·liped, fil·lip·ing, fil·lips
1. To strike or propel rapidly by as or as if by a fillip: filliped his finger against my ear; filliped the
pretzel across the counter.
2. To stimulate or arouse.

But at least I am not palming it off as my own.

No more quoting the Surface to air Description.
