Development of the "brainstorming" sense

edit

To a person unfamiliar with the term, it is hard to see how "throwing a baseball moist with spittle" becomes "brainstorming ideas", i.e. how one sense lends itself into being transformed into the other. I think it would be nice if the entry had some supporting information in this regard. I've found this blogpost explaining the sense development, but I'm unsure as to how to integrate it into the article: https://idiomation.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/spitballing/Pinnerup (talk) 22:02, 26 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
