perspiration

Against New Zealand, they were heavy on perspiration, but light on inspiration.

This was not a bad United display, certainly not their worst in recent times, but all the perspiration expended could not cover up the shortage of inspiration that will be at his disposal.

Exhausted, dripping with perspiration, my girlfriend and I came to the end of our shift.

Sweating: It can be uncomfortable at best, and embarrassing at worst, depending on your perspiration levels.

For those of us not shelling out to alter our sweat glands, we’ll have to accustom ourselves to what the Atlantic’s Katherine J. Wu has called “infinite moistness”: nonstop perspiration clinging to and pouring off our skin—and into the fabric of our clothing, making it necessary to toss it into the wash sooner than we might otherwise.
