Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:IPA-it; Шаблон:Trans), alternatively described as Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang/Шаблон:Lang ("what are you talking about?"), or simply Шаблон:Lang ("what?"), is one of the best known hand gestures of Italy.[1][2][3] In English, it is sometimes referred to as "pinched fingers" or "finger purse" (Italian: Шаблон:Lang).[4] It is meant to express disbelief at what the other person is saying or doing, and/or to ridicule their opinions.

Gesture overview

This gesture is produced where the tips of all the fingers of one hand are brought together to form an "upward pointing cone", with the hand then being moved up and down either from the wrist or forearm.[5] The hand can be motionless while performing this hand gesture, or can also be shaken up and down, if the person wants to express impatience.[5] While it is particularly common in the South, it is a gesture that is widely used in Italy. The frequency and speed of vertical motion indicates the level of frustration of the speaker.[6]

Legacy

Use in other countries

The gesture is also widely used in Uruguay and Argentina, two Latin American countries with large Italian diasporas, with similar connotations.[7][8] In Malawi, the gesture refers to human testicles (Шаблон:Lang) in the Bantu language Chichewa.Шаблон:Citation needed

The same gesture is used in Israel with the meaning of "wait a minute" or "give me a minute".[9][10]

The gesture became popular among Sri Lankan Facebook communities as the iconic gesture of Anura Kumara Dissanayaka, the leader of the prominent leftist party Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, in a pejorative manner to indicate exaggeration or lying.[11] The gesture is identified by them as the "Gajabinna Mudrawa" (Gesture of Blatant Lies).

As an emoji

The emoji for the gesture (🤌) was proposed in 2019 as submission L2/19-159,[3] approved as part of Unicode 13.0 in 2020,[12] and added later that year as U+1F90C.[4] The emoji was also popular in Sri Lanka.[11]
