| has gloss | (noun) a gesture involving the shoulders shrug |
| has gloss | eng: A shrug pronounced as (shrug) is a form of nonverbal communication that is performed by lifting both shoulders up, and is an indication of an individual either not knowing an answer to a question, or not caring about a result. It can also be used when someone is simply ignoring the persons question. It may be accentuated with raised eyebrows and/or an exaggerated frown. It is very common in North American culture, rather than properly saying "I dont know", they would simply perform a "shrug". In the English-speaking world it may be accompanied by a three syllable grunt or hummed mumble mimicking the intonation of "I dunno". The shrug is relatively absent from Eastern culture. |
