[moshquerade]

so i've heard the term "thumb your nose" at someone. but have you ever seen someone do that?
and i guess it means you are telling them to f*ck off?

Basically, but in a more childish and less severe fashion.

It's just a simple insult from way back when that nobody would care about now - using your thumb to turn up your nose like a pig's nose. 8 year old boys did that in the 1920s.

When you push your nose to one side with your thumb, isn't that a gesture equivalent to saying someone is homosexual.

I think it's popular in medhival europe. Common in shakespearean times I should think.

Now we just use the birdie =^)
