For a person to flush is to become markedly
red in the
face and often other areas of the skin, from various
physiological conditions. Flushing is generally distinguished, despite a close physiological relation between them, from
blushing, which is milder, generally restricted to the face or cheeks, and generally assumed to reflect embarrassment. Flushing is also a cardinal symptom of
carcinoid syndrome – the syndrome that results from
hormones (often
serotonin or
histamine) being secreted into systemic circulation.

"Redskin" is a racial descriptor for
Native Americans and one of the
color metaphors for race used in
North America and
Europe since European colonization of America. The term was used throughout the English-speaking world (and in equivalent transliterations in Europe) throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as a common term of reference for indigenous Americans. The term was once in common use, as evidenced in Western movies, but is now largely considered a
pejorative and is seldom used publicly (aside from the football team - see below). As with any term perceived to be discriminatory, different individuals may hold differing opinions of the term's appropriateness.
