Rude Hand Gestures of the World
Never mind phrase books—rude gesture books will get you further in a foreign country. Further to a hospital room, that is. And Roman Lefevre’s book, Rude Hand Gestures of the World, will help you get there.
Check out The Atlantic for a sampling of gestures you can use to really show your disdain for the natives of the country you’re visiting. My favorite is the Italian gesture The Pepper Mill which ”mimics grinding a pepper mill, suggesting the content of the subject’s brain.” Ha! I guess that’s akin to our Cuckoo gesture, rotating the index finger near the ear, then pointing at the nutjob.
I love non-verbal communication.
