Gesture 12: « Bisque ! »

Gestes français - French Gestures

To brag about something or rile a friend, you can "le faire bisquer."

Fold your hand, put it under your chin with your fingers touching your throat, rub your hand out past your chin, and say, "Bisque !"

The best English equivalents I can think of are saying "Neener neener!" or "Nyah nyah!"

Register - familiar
