reflex, without thinking, brainless :-)

related to `dict knee':
     {Knee jerk} (Physiol.) a jerk or kick produced by a blow or
        sudden strain upon the patellar tendon of the knee, which
        causes a sudden contraction of the quadriceps muscle; one
        of the so-called tendon reflexes.
