   I went to a French Lycée in Saigon, Vietnam, and   
   was taught by French teachers, male and female,   
   and just about the only things different I saw in   
   them was the famous shaking of the forearm in   
   the "Oh là là" gesture in French women and the   
   shoulder shrug and "touching wood" in men and   
   women, the last in talk but not in real gesture. I   
   never saw the hip-swing. Another strange   
   movement in Western women, to me, is the   
   hitting fists, in parallel, wholly in the air and not   
   against a real object, when women are angry or   
   upset with something. The thumb up has the   
   reverse meaning in Roman time, as in Coliseum   
   and its gladiatorial contests, and in the US both   
   thumbs can be up, as with Trump, and women   
   can add some flexion of the lower torso to   
   enhance the effect.
