Write down some gestures from your countries that people might find weird!

I think the forehead slap is different. In Russia it means “I get it now! I understand.” But in the states (and in that clip from Avatar) it means “You’ve got to be kidding me.” It means you’re annoyed with something, and we call it a “face palm”.

2:17 It's still done in Poland among family... At least in my region; 4:08 We do something similar. We hit our neck with two (or all the) fingers horizontally.

Belarus here. In my childhood the teeth thing was extra common.
Is it just me or you too are bothered when someone wear a hat inside? Like American rappers do. That's so weird

The superstation is probably just something parents told kids to make them stop whistling lol

I'm Canadian and the "full of you" gesture is something my mum did all the time! She'd say, "I'm up to HERE with you!" Also, my experience with hitting the side of the head is more "I'm such an idiot" than suddenly understanding something. Super interesting!

I knew you reminded me of someone but I could never place it until I saw the thumbnail for this video, English comedian Jon Richardson but with more beard

What about snapping your fingers? I’m American and depending on the context it can be harmless or maybe even considered rude. You can do it to get someone’s attention but if raising your hand and giving a slight wave would’ve gotten their attention then it may be taken as being rude or impatient. It can also be used to symbolize when something is on the tip of your tongue but you can’t remember it. Like if someone asks you who sings the song that is currently playing, you might snap your fingers while you think because the name doesn’t come to you right away. So it can be used in lots of situations and has different meanings based on the context around when/how you do it.

I found this so interesting! The figgis gesture I remember my Slovak grandmother doing to us kids when we were misbehaving... accompanied by “Figgis Makem!” But I was surprised by how many Italian gestures Russians use. (I’m half Italian, too.) The tooth flick, usually means you’re really fed up with someone, the shrug, same as anywhere, you don’t know something, and the forehead slap, oh, that’s what it means! Then there’s the “Italian salute, ” Ba Fongool!” Where you put your fist at your elbow... means F.U.

In Greece EVERYTHING is the same except the non verbal communication, which we still do half of them

So many are almost universal or almost the same, some I remember my grandfather doing but not seeing it anywhere now.

I was born in New Zealand went to school in Australia and got my first full-time job in Japan. When I first came to the US I found it very annoying that the waiter/ess would come every few minutes and ask if we were okay. Now I have gotten used to it. I just nod that everything is okay when they come around

I am from Montenegro and most of these gestures we use too. Not the one related to drinking. We also kiss three times (not always though).

From etiquette part about shoes - take off our hat when entering the house. Why you need your hat/ cap inside the house anyway... wtf America?

Can you react to some videos by nfkrz? He does a lot of content on Russia and i wanna hear your take on some of his opinions.

I am from Croatia which is a Slavic country. Most of these examples are actually universal even some gestures I think are very Italian but by no means Slavic. Only handshaking and taking off shoes after entering the house are real Slavic examples that everyone in Croatia respects and does not neglect. I would say that in Croatia and Serbia, which is also a Slavic country, there is a huge fear of drafts, drafts must not be created or be on it. We also use Rakija (Brandy) for everything from treating various ailments to drinking our self to death :) :)
