signs n gestures that i know communicate something- but what's the fault of dear lil baby?

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 .
