Touch (one's) forelock phrase
Show excessive respect for a person in a superior position
My colleages always touch the boss' forelock but I don't want to do so.
He has found it weird that everyone seemed to touch their forelock when speaking to him since he became the president.
The verb "touch" must be conjugated according to its tense.
This phrase refers to the act of pulling the hair above the forehead instead of taking off one's hat to show respect.
Do you see anything wrong?
