Hold your hand up to your face with your thumb towards your mouth, as if you were going to suck your thumb.
Don't suck your thumb. Instead, put your thumb slightly behind your upper front teeth.
Now apply some pressure and briskly snap your thumb past your teeth making an annoying snapping sound.
Make this gesture until you are proficient at it and you will start to understand what this thread is about.
A simpler, although just as mystifying gesture is to project your tongue slightly forward while keeping your lips in contact with the tongue. Then gently apply a slight air pressure with your diaphragm against the seal between your lips and tongue. This takes practice, but if you keep trying, another annoying noise will be discovered.
Directing these gestures in the location of another person will get the greatest effect. Trying to make this message understood in text takes some talent and I believe Werbert is quite qualified and has succeded, admirably. |
Is the latter a raspberry, the ol' lip music?
Wahahahahahahahahahaha!

Werbert, I'll forgive you, but only if I can nickname you Shin-Chan from now on.

No. Werbert has been my family name ever since we descended from the mountains of the Netherlands 5000 years ago. I cannot forsake it. |

Lord Werbert, Duke of Kentfordfurthingshireham,
I'm merely trying to help explain what this thread is about, without you having to invest your time in the trivial matters of some who have not yet beheld the dazzle of your presence. Some people just don't seem to share your wisdom. Plus, not all gestures are universally understood. I hope that I will eventually represent enough ethnic variations of the symolism to cover the previous question adequately.
Here are more versions. These are much easier to perform and instead of practicing in front of a mirror, go directly to any public place and try these on anyone you see.
Holding your palm up, make a clenched fist, with your elbow bent about ninety degrees. Now bring your forearm to an upright position, but stop it sharply at about face level by wedging the other forearm into the bend of your elbow.
There is also an open hand variation of this one, which is done with a twist of the upright forearm to imply an even more dastardly assault on the recipient's body cavities.
Repeat, if there is any doubt as to whether the one receiving the gesture understood your meaning or not.
Or you could hold your fist up, usually above head level, and deliberately and carefully allow the middle finger to extend until erect, while still holding the other fingers together in a loose fist. This gesture is probably more universal than some others. If they are still confused try shaking your fist while making this gesture.
These hand signals should not be used in conjunction with any sincere apologies.
Trying to make this explanation as aspie clear as mud.
Besides there's an intruder in my home right now and I'm bored, because I can't play my music!

Ah, this I understand.
As to why I am apologizing if I am going to keep this up, I suppose I'll have to renew this apology every once in a while, but it's worth it. |

There are several posters on here who make me laugh out loud at my computer....it scares my cats but it is worth it for my over all mental health.Please dont reign in your absurdist,sarcastic banter.It would be a great loss to the community.Sometimes a good laugh is the only thing that will dislodge a head from an ass.(yucky visual,sorry)It has something to do with the diaphragm....anyway...keep up the good work.
