题目: Re: Don't know what handshakes and honour has to do with it

(V): I still have faith in the hand shake / word is bond. However I do believe people are more mistrusting of others these days.

Iron fist / velvet glove (or silk glove) is an expression describing someone who is autocratic but who has a softer exterior. So I was referring to the person.
With Bush it was easy, just an iron fist, but you knew where you stood with him.
With a velvet glove, this is a very dangerous combination, does one thing, says another.
