Air Quotes

[@nerkou2016]

I raise my two middle fingers when i talk guess i was doing it wrong

[@Xenon777channel]

Regarding the air quotes hand gesture, as people use two pairs of fingers it looks like quotation marks ---> " " (two pairs) However, the hand gesture is usually not referring to a quotation or citation. Like, if someone says, " So he and and I are like ' dating ' * hand gesture * ", then they're not referring to a quote, or a citation, they're referring to that they're not really dating, or quasi-dating. That's the most common usage of air quotes.

[@FrieswithyoursushiBlogspot]

satya karthik Sorry about my presumption. We have a few thousand views on this video. It's been fun to hear about other's experiences in America and if they understand air quotes. We never realized how much we do it until we moved abroad. :)

PBinJ where do you love boi

[@bingbong5053]

Thanks! Its not that I don't understand since I always use it but idk how to explain it to my friendsss

[@cuntess86]

Australians use air quote too. Another way they are used is to be more subtle if using a particular word would be inappropriate. For example, I went to the "shops" to buy a "cucumber" (Interpreted as: I went to the "adult shop" to buy an "adult toy shaped like a cucumber".

Don’t teach them to use their fingers to communicate, use words.

[@JohnJohn-zn8ib]

[@loadnlock357]

I hate when people do that...

[@FrieswithyoursushiBlogspot]

It can be pretty confusing and sometimes people use it too much or use it incorrectly, but it can make conversations more fun too. Thanks for watching!!

[@adv.abhishekyadav]

Me too

[@meow97]

"Okay"

[@48hd38]

🙆🤦god.....in India 🇮🇳 it's become a fashion..n' they use it incorrectly!!! Just just hate it !!

[@alindaconnie6232]

Don't worry you can be my friend lol

[@williamstalvey6920]

I dont know what's worse, someone doing air quotes, or men having man buns.....both should be illegal!!!

[@schnauzermom9325]

No reason a person should do this unless it is ASL…

[@seesharpminor7996]

In the UK we just change the tone of our voices., it's easier. We find this habit of yours a tad irritating

[@lovestoned6139]

we do the same in india

[@markprange4386]

No, you're right. It is not acceptable. Not in the US. It's laughed at. Just as unacceptable is using quotation marks as emphasis, instead of underlining, capitalising, or using italic or boldface--but it's still seen some. Another idiocy is saying "quote" or "quote unquote" before or after a quotation. Semiliteracy and idocy are rife here.

[@evppp]

What a "nice" video! lol no offence just feel funny

[@FrieswithyoursushiBlogspot]

+evppp no offence taken. While I, Bethany, was in Japan my Japanese and other foreign friends kept asking me what it meant when I did air quotes so I made Phil make this video. Thanks for watching. :)
