it's well-known that some gestures mean
different things in different parts of
the world in some places such as Britain
this means everything's okay while in
Brazil and other places it's considered
obscene and in still other places too
just Japan it means money in Italy they
might make this sign to emphasize a
point while in Jordan
it can mean wait a second certain things
often have gestures for them
for instance in most places where
drinking alcohol is popular there's a
sign for drinking or getting drunk in
the US this while in France they grab
and twist their nose and in Russia they
flick their throat on the other hand
some places have more or less unique
gestures in Russia to say you're making
things too complicated you scratch your
ear by going around the back of your
head among the most common and probably
oldest gestures are nodding for yes and
shaking the head for no but even this is
universal Bulgarians are famous for
shaking their head to mean yes and
nodding with a click of the tongue to me
no and in South Asia they have a third
option which involves tilting the head
from side to side it's used to
acknowledge the person speaking to you
although in some contexts it can also
mean approval or even uncertainty
Oh
