Gesture 6: « Alors là / Bof »
Gestes français - French Gestures
The "Gallic shrug" gesture has a number of meanings:
- It's not my fault
- I don't know
- I doubt it can be done
- I don't really agree
Raise your shoulders; hold up your hands, palms out; stick out your lower lip; raise your eyebrows; and say "Moi, je n'y peux rien," "Moi, je n'en sais rien," "Alors là," or simply "Bof !"
