Common Obscene Gestures

[Shepard]

I often do - emote makes a crude gesture...

Though it would likely be best if we did a Northern Common Gestures, and Southern Common Gestures...

You can go over common earth ones -

1) Smacking the inside of your fists together in an upwards thrusting manner, knuckles pointing outwards - Friends Style
2) Bite your thumb
3) Forming a circle with your index and thumb
4) Giving the thumbs down

I get the whole spitting is wasting water thing, but there's a fuckload more water on Zalanthas than there is on Arrakis. And dirtbags need to spit. Spit at people they don't like.

I can only think of three Arm group types that would be okay using spitting as an insult. A regular scum bag is not one of them.

[Spoon]

I dunno, water is more scarce than on Earth of course, but it's not ludicrously expensive. I really don't think only Nobles/Magickers can afford to spit... and spitting isn't really 'wasting water' that much in the first place.

[Maso]

Vivudians can spit.

I can only think of two, but they could be different than yours.

[Rhyden]

I often moon people.

[Sav]

I often moon people.

This sounds like a fantastic way to get stabbed in the ass with all of the previously mentioned weaponry.

Obsidian mining.... 

[lordcooper]

Keep it simple and go all San Diego on them.

[Karieith]

I prefer the old:
talk (cupping ^me fist to ^me mouth, ^me eyebrows raised) Oh, [fancy pants], that's delightful.
hemote shielding a yawn with ^me fist.

[Recharge]

People generally don't like it when you urinate/defecate in their direction...or on them.

[Delirium]

Reverently, the sleek, obsidian-haired woman spits in your face.

[Booya]

Sometimes spitting just works. I justify it as a character showing they can waste their water and still pwn the other's measly existence.

[Spoon]

It's worth saying I think it's cool for people to think spitting is stupid in game, but that might result in getting spat at. We can has both ways.

[SMuz]

Water is easily available to the middle class in Zalanthas. It's like.. petrol, you get it just fine, it just puts a hole in your wallet.

I remember an old character's friend who used 'barrier' as a ward off evil gesture. Would always say "shield your mind" whenever on a big contract or going to do scary things. Makes sense with all the 'gickers around.

[Recharge]

Have always been curious about giving someone the finger. Would it mean the same in Zalanthas as it does in rl?

Well, in real life, usually the finger remains attached to the hand.

In Zalanthas, it's given without the accompanying hand.

[bennybubonic]

Mock-spitting. Seems like an elegantly nasty way of saying, "I wouldn't waste water on you."

Spitting could also be considered a prestige badge. I got plenty of water to survive, so I can easily afford to regurgitate some of it and throw it around.
