"killing it" is a recently popular term to denote excellence and immense progress. it has a violent, forceful connotation.
friends in the circus community - through empirical evidence - have established a belief that operating at the highest levels of talent requires mindfulness, awareness, and calm. thus, a better term, which they have started to playfully use, is "cuddling it."
thought sudoers would appreciate this.
cuddling it,
