verb
1. To bend at the the knee, especially in worship.
No one is laughing at God this Saturday;* many will genuflect.
2. Grovelling.
Is it a coincidence that God and super villains both want the same thing: masses of inferior beings genuflecting at their feet.
Synonyms: beseech, boot lick, bow, cower, crawl, crouch, gesticulate, grovel, kneel, kowtow, prostrate, snivel, worship.
* In the future, when I am editing this collection of blog posts for a book, I will edit Saturday out to read: the Second Coming of Christ 21 May 2011.
