Lol the fig gesture in my country South Africa means sex or penetration. But the rest of the hands gestures are the same with us. We handshake a lot yo.

For an older pop culture variant on the slap on the head realization thing, look up old commercials for V8 tomato juice stuff.

My mother, grandmother, and others I have known will run their index finger back and forth along the back of their thumb when someone is complaining to them. It is supposed to be a "tiny violin" playing a sad song for you and how hard your life is [sarcastically].

3 kisses are tradittional way we great each other in Serbia. If we are close like friends and family.

I heard story about someone who went hitchhiking. Possibly in Greece or Albania. But the thumbs up gesture means "up your ass" or something so the hitchhiking didn't work out very well.

You can also slap your own head after discovering something that should have been obvious. Like " oh im such an idiot, how did I forgot to fill up my gas tank this morning"

@@MomoKunDaYo Oh yeah you’re right! I’ve definitely done that lol

@@VioletRaven. and we have facepalm too) just do that when you feel cringe

The tooth flick is a childish thing, means "I swear". Some adults may use it as a joke.

@@emgris all the international ones plus shaking hands between boys, hugs, waving, the money gesture, the kiss on the cheek (maybe 2), thumbs up, ok, the chest thing, slapping the forehead and the fed up thing but we do it till the forehead and the whole formal etiquette so more or less everything

@@kolexblue9920 yes don't forget the μούτζα . :) ,and we don't wear shoes in the house.

I think it's usually just old people now

In Russia people kiss each on the cheek 3 times when they give/receive greetings on the day of the resurection of the Christ. Its super common.

I think that's how half of superstations start lol

So if you are a Russian who lives outside of Russia or if you are anti Putin, then you like NFKRZ. Most Russian’s definitely won’t like him.

@@SamsRussianAdventures thats a broad statement. Depends on the age group. Also his content is made for a western audience

@@cybulskiya8725 I’m just saying that because they are his target audience.

@@SamsRussianAdventures ah gotcha

Yep, he's a russian western oriented gen z libtard. Not much to say. He exploits stereotypes and downsides. Pretty annoying one.

Yeah, but it’s more like a superstition, depends on a person, I wouldn’t care

bruh i felt sad :(

In.the united states we run our thumbs under our necks to tell someone theyre in trouble or "dead meat"

Andres T In the UK we run our index finger across our necks if we want to say that.

yeah, same

@@emgris Because they are common here too?

it really doesn't make sense someone to enter the home with those dirty shoes. it's just disgusting and uncomfortable. i dont know why a person on earth prefer that

not all of the other countries but some countries do that by the way, as far as I know Italian people enter their homes with their shoes

I was born and raised in France and I always hated the four kisses... It got reduced to two tho or maybe it's just my family. But my cousin from Belgium goes with three and somehow it feels quite alright

@@daniellac.7588 I'm from Belgium, one half is Francophone and we just do one kiss. Maybe we're not traditional but that's how it goes in my family.

Three kisses is exclusively in brabant. Drm heet het ook de brabantse drieklapper

@@artifex2.080 dan toch enkel in Noord-Brabant :p, ben zelf ook Brabander.

@@artifex2.080 Uhm not really... I have lived in Rotterdam my whole life (and I've been around for some time) and work went out mostly in the Randstand (approx. North-Holland, South-Holland and Utrecht). All these places have use three kisses. My family in the Achterhoek also uses 3, friends and family in Groningen also use 3. I got lot's of family in your neighborhood :-) in Eindhoven indeed three kisses. Friends in Zeeland and Gelderland three kisses. I've also been to Friesland long ago but I can't remember if it was 2 or 3 over there.

Merhabaaaaaa

@@emgris Montenegro 🇲🇪

in Brazil it means butt hole...

@@lucasslf oh my. I didn't expect that. Thx btw

lol

@@mgntstr it's actually a very divided topic. Almost not groupable by country as some households do it and other don't. I have a feeling there are either countries in which everyone takes of their shoes and countries in which some households do and other don't but no countries in which noone takes of their shoes inside. I for example am from Belgium and quite a big portion of people keep their shoes on inside, many of my friends including myself actually. However, I wouldn't say it is a standard practice and I always ask if I enter someone new's house. My dad had imposed the rule in his new house but now it kinda became a semi rule except for upstairs where it is still preferable to take them off.

@@mgntstr mokay then, everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess.

@@mgntstr sure lad.

As a westerner i take of my shoes

Yes, absolutely. Some people don't that live in the snow so not to drag the snow and the salt in their house. Or muddy places? Another sector of people that don't wear shoes in the house are clean or neat freaks. Some are diagnosed with cleaning ocd. They are very afraid of germs or cannot stop cleaning their homes. There are still a considerable number of people that don't wear their shoes in their house. Most people that immigrate to the u.s. and their second generation children still practice. Something quite sad to say is when visiting a daycare, the young children took their naps with shoes on, so the daycare workers could evacuate them quicker if their was an emergency like a fire or a shooting. Personally, I always have my shoes on. I'm like weirdly dressed all the time. I am never more comfortable! I don't change into something more comfortable after working and wear my day's clothes until I go to bed. I've even fallen asleep in them with shoes and jewelry on!
