Mousingsing

[JimGeselbracht]

Ymesei Ezekiel, in his 1968 song "Sils a Mochu Kebesengei," uses the line "Tal demei me ke mousingsing," (spelled that way in the songbooks) and I am told that it means you nervously move your knees, legs, feet when you should be sitting still. Fidgeting. I don't see this tekinged, but not sure if I am misspelling it.

I believe it’s derived from mozizi Japanese word for fidget.

@Gnalu , can you find a webpage anywhere that shows MOZIZI as a Japanese word? I couldn't find anything like that so I'm not sure that MOZIZI is a Japanese word. I did find mojimoji which can mean fidgeting but that seems too far away from this word.
