Well, so discussed in the book that pinching one’s nostrils closed with
thumb and forefinger -communicates
the gesture of 'disgust or displeasure with something (like ‘It stinks')' !
.. taken from the
extract:
/Similarly, there
are visible signs, gestures, which have a standard, shared meaning, and there
are elements of appearance—‘body language’— which possibly create an effect on
the observer and therefore on the interpretation of a spoken message. The former,
the visible signs, have the capacity to communicate in much the way a word
communicates; the latter could only be said to communicate in a secondary
sense.
Consider these
visual signs:
nodding the
head in response to an utterance
crossing
one’s fingers pretending to yawn, with finger tips in front of mouth
holding up a
thumb from a closed fist
pinching
one’s nostrils closed with thumb and forefinger
Like the
audible signs mentioned above, these gestures have recognized, though somewhat
vague, shared meanings. The first suggests agreement or affirmation; the
second, a hope for success when circumstances are uncertain; the third,
boredom; the fourth, determination to make one’s cause successful; the fifth,
disgust or displeasure with something (‘It stinks') /
Well, the question is that the boo little baby, is pinched er hard
at nose. No less. All well succumbs to the temptation of tweaking that tiny
winy nose. Awww, poor little darling. Ahm, is that to figure n elucidates the
gesture that the baby conjures to plot against his nose or that the disgusting
odour somewhere about that the nose be pinched (since he cannot do the service
himself !) -? :v O I say it all on account of limitation of the gesture to
explain itself in the book ! Hehe.., Have a good day. Thanks for reading till
the end :D !
P.S
Now caution sir! n ma'am too! before playing your gestures on poor
little darling .
