Gesture 13: « Pied de nez »
Gestes français - French Gestures
| The pied de nez gesture (thumbing your nose) is used to make fun of someone,
usually behind his or her
back.
Hold one hand up with your thumb touching your nose and wiggle your
fingers. |
 |
| Optionally, you can hold up your other hand with the thumb touching below the pinky of the first hand. If you want to be really infantile, make a face or stick out your tongue. |
