Gesture 3: « Il se tourne les pouces »
Gestes français - French Gestures
| In English, when someone is doing nothing, we can say he's twiddling his
thumbs. French has the same expression - "il se tourne
les pouces" - and a gesture to go with it. Just cross your hands and move your
thumbs around each other.
Register - normal Another way to say that someone is doing nothing is with the expression faire du lard. |
