My heart is lightened to learn inserting the chopsticks into your mouth to make walrus fangs is not taboo.

It actually prohibits holding the chopsticks in your mouth. You have a chopstick rest (and workarounds) for that.

Just like the next term on the list does not prohibit eating food on the bottom but rather digging into the bowl instead of eating in top down order.

Don’t go to Chinese food with a drummer. It’s just maddening.
