How do you describe a person who is twisting and bending their body in reaction to great physical pain?
I have found "to writhe" and "to squirm"as verbs, and both of them mean " to make twisted movements". I have noticed that "squirm" is used for "worms" too.
1- What is the difference between "writhe" and "squirm"?
2- Can we use "squirm" for people too or it is considered rude?
3- What does this sentence (heard in American movies) mean: "I want to watch you squirm"?
